YouPorn goes PWA progressive with new mobile web apps for Android and iOS
- krrrh 8y ago> But there are other advantages too, such as local storage, meaning that YouPorn can store information such as a user’s favorite videos locally on the device so that this information is not sent to YouPorn’s servers. This is a pretty inscrutable sentence. There’s nothing about a PWA that ensures additional privacy, and nothing stopping them from using local storage and not collecting this data on the regular website if they chose to.
- thinkingemote 8y agoI think PWAs can mean less privacy as they run (from home) in non extension enabled browser instance. I've not got any confirmation on this, but if you have a fully tricked out Firefox mobile on your Android device and load a PWA from your home screen it will not load your extensions and you cannot access them or the browser settings. Seems like many website developers would love PWAs if it means more ads and income for their companies.

- TicklishTiger 8y agoThe one problem that is left with PWAs is that they do not support local file access. So they have to store data in the browsers local storage. And that is wiped out when the user deletes their browsing data.
