since the new update of Google Chrome (version 69.0.3497.92 (official build) (64-bit)) I can’t find the serviceWorker service in the Navigator anymore. Actually I could register my Service Worker as follows but now I get an error that serviceWorker cannot be found in the navigator:
if('serviceWorker' in navigator) {
/*
*
* Register the Service Worker
*
* */
navigator.serviceWorker.register('sw.js').then(function(registration) {
console.log('Service Worker Registered');
});
} else console.log('Your browser does not support the Service-Worker!');
How can I now use the Service Worker again, or how can I get it to run again for all Chrome versions?

Answer
Serve your page over HTTPS or use localhost. Service workers require a Secure Context.
The value of window.isSecureContext indicates whether [SecureContext] features are visible or hidden. (This is true on a file:// URL and the serviceWorker API will be visible, but it won’t work, of course.)
