This adds a subfeature for the periodic-background-sync. Its supported in chrome only (the interface that uses it isn't supported on the other platforms) - https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/PeriodicSyncManager/register

I've put that it is supported since release, which is extremely likely but untested.

The spec allows a browser to manage granting the permission however it likes. Chrome requires an installed PWA and some kinds of site engagement https://developer.chrome.com/docs/capabilities/periodic-background-sync#getting_user_engagement_right - I'v eonly mentioned the PWA thing.
