Re:Apple on course to break all Web Apps in EU within 20 days by jauntywundrkind on Thursday February 15, 2024 @09:55AM (#39383362)
I find opening in a standalone app to be a far worse experience than a web page. PWAs seem like such a downgrade to me: no url bar, no forward/back, no bookmarks, usually no tabs or maybe limited tabs, extension buttons & awesome bar are gone...

PWAs recreate a modality that offers less. I would rather have the affordances of a user ahent available.

As a user, I wish my user agent would let me un-standalone PWAs & bring them back to the web. Especially as we start to create permissions like Direct Sockets which are gated on PWAs.
