Experimental: This is an experimental technology
Check the Browser compatibility table carefully before using this in production.

Note: This feature is only available in Service Workers.

The ancestorOrigins read-only property of the WindowClient interface is an array of strings listing the origins of all ancestors of the browsing context represented by this WindowClient in reverse order.

The first element in the array is the origin of this window's parent, and the last element is the origin of the top-level browsing context. If this window is itself a top-level browsing context, then ancestorOrigins is an empty array.

Value

An array of strings.
