Summary

Service workers no longer receive fetch events for requests from embed and object elements. This includes both requests for the main resource itself (the src or data attribute) and for any requests from the resulting context (the plugin or HTML context). This change was made to adhere to the specification, which disallows service worker interception due to security considerations.
