GitHub Codespaces Error loading webview: Error: Could not register service workers: NotSupportedError: Failed to register a ServiceWorker for scope

Question

When I open a README.md Markdown Preview view in GitHub Codespaces on Google Chrome (as well as e.g. on Chromium-based Brave) I am getting:

Error loading webview: Error: Could not register service workers: NotSupportedError: Failed to register a ServiceWorker for scope ('https://....vscode-cdn.net/insider/.../out/vs/workbench/contrib/webview/browser/pre/') with script ('https://....vscode-cdn.net/insider/.../out/vs/workbench/contrib/webview/browser/pre/service-worker.js?v=4&vscode-resource-base-authority=vscode-resource.vscode-cdn.net&remoteAuthority=codespaces+vorburger-...'): The user denied permission to use Service Worker..

How can I grant permission to use Service Workers to *.github.dev / *.vscode-cdn.net in Chrom/Chromium/Brave?

Answer 1

I had the same issue in chrome with Eclipse Che using vs code IDE
("Error loading webview: ... The user denied permission to use Service Worker")

fixed by allowing third-party cookies on the site in the browser settings (added an exclusion for the site)

the solution is taken from here

settings from support google com
