Increase in error "Failed to get navigation preload state: The user denied permission to use Service Worker"

[ashok yadav]

Hi,

I have a service worker running in production, lately I have started seeing increase in error Failed to get navigation preload state: The user denied permission to use Service Worker. This error was always logged on our end but the amount has been quadrupled in past 3 weeks. I am not sure what causes this error at the first place, and I have tried multiple ways but could not able to reproduce. Most of these errors are coming from recently released Chrome 105, but I did not saw any policy change in the new release which can trigger this.

I am looking for more details about the error? What causes it? How it can be reproduced?

Thanks.

We have also started seeing more service worker registration failures along with the above error. So our theory of some changes in Chrome 105 related to 3P cookies or privacy setting that could have started this holds a stronger ground. Any help to understand this better will be highly appreciated.
