Yes, because we all want notifications and more things running in the background that can access to the device's ports.
I take the points about not supporting CSS features and some of the other web standards, and the issues around Apple's 30% cut, and I'd add that some of Apple's censorship (eg. banning Parler for a while, asking Telegram and Tumblr to not allow access to certain content) is troubling, but I don't think the way around that is letting any cowboy with a web app send notifications and access bluetooth willy nilly.
- Epskampie 5y agoNotifications can only be sent after you “install” a website as a PWA. Same for background stuff. Don’t want that? Just use it as a regular site.
- diebeforei485 5y agoThing is, it's not me I'm concerned about.
- Jcowell 5y agoIs this true ? Websites as they are now already ask for notifications in browser safari
- upbeat_general 5y agoThe thing is sites can already do this on chrome (desktop and android) and it hasn’t caused any widespread issues to my knowledge. Why would adding it to Safari have a different effect? Plus iOS is improving on its notification suppression and its relatively trivial to suppress notifications that aren’t interacted with after some limit.
