Yea, Flutter Web isn’t viable and likely never will be. The approach will require re-implementing browser primitives (like copy paste) which means you’re always going to need to ship a ton of JS to clients which makes it antithetical to the PWA approach.

EDIT: thanks for the downvote. But you don’t have to take my word for it, this sentiment is (privately) shared by Googlers themselves working on Chrome and PWAs.

Om The flip side, modern javascript frameworks seems to like to reinvent the basic primitives as well (based on how often my back button is broken), so I'm not certain that will be a deal-breaker.
