As per https://developers.google.com/web/updates/2018/06/fresher-sw, I think we can just leave this section out now—I don't know how much the README needs to cater to older browsers?

Since service workers are only supported in evergreen browsers, I'm fine with this.

@jeffposnick Are you proposing we merge #4169 as is and then apply these changes after that? |

The workbox.config.js file is something that was alluded to, but I believe it's just hypothetical right now.
I'm assuming that that functionality is going to be added to the next branch at some point by the c-r-a maintainers, and this reference to workbox.config.js could at that point be linked to whatever documentation is written for that new functionality.
(If I'm getting those assumptions wrong, let me know!)

Right, once #4169 is merged and things switch over to Workbox, there are some parts of the README that would need to be updated, and that's included in this PR. (#4169 is not my PR, so I can't just add these changes into that.) There are also a couple of things that have changed in terms of browser functionality since #3864 was last addressed, and this PR reflects that. |

Can you please remove the references to configuration for now? No one has championed a PR for this yet. |

Merging, cla: #3924 (comment) |
* Updates to README to reflect Workbox usage. * Update README.md * Update README.md
R: @gaearon @Timer
This is a continuation of the fix for #3864, with additional changes to reflect the usage of Workbox and the fact that setting proper
Cache-Controlheaders on the generated service worker file should (hopefully!) no longer be a concern for modern web browsers.This PR depends on #4169 being merged.
