Research direction

Start in src/index.js at the linked code around line 186 and inspect how createObjectURL and revokeObjectURL are used when inline is true. Reproduce an inline build, compare the generated bundle with the non-inline case, and confirm that the worker code appears only once.

Description

Hi!

When using inline option in the config, I found duplicate worker code in my bundle.
Perhaps this is because of incorrect use of createObjectURL and revokeObjectURL in the case of inline: true option.
I believe in line 186 👇, the argument of URL.revokeObjectURL should not be a string with all the worker code inside it, but it should be a product of URL.createObjectURL method.
