Web workers vs Service workers vs Worklets

This technical article compares three types of JavaScript workers: Web Workers, Service Workers, and Worklets. It explains that while all run on separate threads from the main browser thread, they serve very different purposes. Web Workers are for general-purpose, heavy processing tasks; Service Workers act as network proxies for caching and offline functionality; and Worklets (briefly mentioned) are for low-level, specific operations like audio processing or CSS painting.
