Different request initiator for Worker in browser vs WebView

[mtvec]

Let's say I have a very simple project:

• index.html loads main.js
• main.js creates a Web Worker using new Worker("worker.js")

When I run this project in a browser (using npx cap serve) and look at the network requests in the Chrome DevTools, it shows (index) as the initiator of the request to worker.js. When I run it in a WebView on Android, however, the initiator of the same request is Other. Can anyone explain where this difference comes from?

(I ran into this while trying to fix an issue in lichobile which is caused by Bromite blocking a WebSocket. I believe it is blocked because of the unknown originator of the request to the Worker script.)
