Tell HN: Service Workers === Browser Background Tasks

The term "service worker" has confused me for a while, now I see it to be bad jargon selection. You can use "service workers" to send push notifications, load things from cache, and allow for offline behavior of your application (turn off your wifi and load twitter, for example). I think the term "browser background task" is more apt, I am sad another much more confusing and less relevant term was chosen years ago.
