I want good PWAs. I don’t want borderline spyware-apps with access to all kinds of apis. There is no reason why a messaging app needs my gyro data, or gps, or all of the other stuff they just implicitly get because they are an app. I’m starting to think that some of the worst that ever happened was that Firefox OS failed.
- palata 3y agoHow will PWAs prevent your messaging app from getting gps data? A bad native app can require the gps permission, but a bad PWA app will be able to do the same, right?
- Cort3z 3y agoThey would be running in a browser, and you can just deny it getting location information, but in general, apps have access to much more raw data than a tab in the browser does. It's also possible, in theory, to run a PWA in a different browser which masks your information.
- palata 3y agoYou can deny location data to a native app, can't you... I really don't think that sandboxing is a good argument in favour of PWAs, honestly.
