Prevent Service Worker from automatically activating on browser restart

I am using Vite PWA plugin. The prompt behavior works but only while the browser is open. If I close the browser and open it again, a new service worker is activated without any prompts.

Is there a way to prevent it?

I need this because we don't want a new version of the app to be installed unless a user explicitly confirms it - it has to do with data integrity: a new version of the app might potentially break using the current user's data in Indexed DB.

Excerpt from my vite config:

VitePWA({
  strategies: 'generateSW',
  registerType: 'prompt',
  devOptions: {
    enabled: true,
  },
  filename: 'service-worker.js',

I tried both Vite PWA strategies: generateSW and injectManifest with custom service-worker.ts script
