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.
