Every time I read these comments I realize that apple is going to dominate again. A PWA is not vetted! If you complain about a PWA apple cannot take it down!
In your PWA / QR code utopia, after someone sticks a few bogus QR codes on parking meters, scooters and bike rentals etc that point to their phising PWA - trust is going to be toast.
Seriously - chrome getting rid of subdomains used to trick users (wellsfargo.securedomain.com) in the browser bar also generated lots of complaints - and also helps users.
Is this just a HN thing? Screw the 1B users who can't be bothered to become experts on every weird scam / original headers review etc? Because it get's a bit tiring on literally every thing that google / apple do.

- anon102010 6y agoI don't think you realize how easy it is to setup a new website. The apple store doesn't have a lot of friction to sign up as a developer and get an app approved, but it has some. Websites are far far easier / quicker etc, and despite browser warnings phishing attacks continue to be very successful. This includes lots of creative options such as windows.net domains using azure cloud compute, cloudfront and CDN domains to host, content coming from places like dropbox, google sites etc. We actually already know browser warnings are not enough because there continue to be incredible attack volumes in this area with malicious websites as landing pages.
