amysteamdev 4aa6bdb595 [SW-tutorial] Refactor alarms API logic (sw-tips.js) (#865)
* [SW-tutorial] Refactor alarms API logic

After doing some experiments (like closing all my browser windows which I never, EVER do...) I realized the tips logic was not working as expected, because [alarms do not persist across browser sessions[(https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Mozilla/Add-ons/WebExtensions/API/alarms#:~:text=Alarms%20do%20not%20persist%20across%20browser%20sessions.)

* Return storage set

* Tech review
