This leaves no way to tranfer transferable objects from the ServiceWorker to the Web page https://github.com/GoogleChrome/chrome-extensions-samples/issues/766, and vice versa, as the MV2 extension world uses IPC, a JSON-like protocol.

There are workarounds which involve using an iframe https://github.com/guest271314/persistent-serviceworker/tree/main/chromium_extension_web_accessible_resources_iframe_message_event or window.open() https://github.com/guest271314/sw-transfer-stream or and offscreen document https://github.com/guest271314/offscreen-webrtc with WebRTC - however that involves loading an entire HTML document, and each has its own deficienfies - with all of the Window features that we do not really need just to transfer data between the Web page I have control of and the ServiceWorker I have control of.
