This is a synthetic problem on iOS, created by apple to push users away from webapps. It’s not only safari, apple has completely blocked any browser engines other than their own.
Yes, a lot of commenters justify this by saying they want the web to be documents, and everything else native apps, that every page doesn’t have to be an SPA.
For me it’s the opposite - I really don’t want to install another invasive app, just gimme a webapp. But sadly, apple crippled both storage and notifications enough to force developers AND users to use their appstore.
This is lock-in, against the interest of their users, for their marketshare. The exact same tactics that MS was crucified for.
