It’s because sometimes the browser’s cache web pages for faster loading of websites, due to that the files that we needed for PWA like manifest and Service Worker won’t get loaded in this case. If you have tried any service workers or PWA’s earlier the clearing of browsing data helps to resolve that case too.
