To be fair, not even Firefox (desktop) can be bothered to support PWA.
PWA is, as an honest assessment, dead. It was a neat idea - kind of like BeOS or Amiga - but it's dead.
My personal take is this is because PWA had too little to define itself to the everyday Joe with. The appeal of PWA was primarily to developers - because then they wouldn't need to build apps or pay fees. What appeals to developers though, doesn't have any intrinsic appeal to Joe.
- lxgr 3y agoThat may be so, but why did Apple start providing Safari/macOS support for PWAs less than half a year ago with the latest macOS launch then? They clearly care about it a little bit.
- intrasight 3y agoI wouldn’t say that they cared. I say that they begrudgingly were being dragged towards supporting PWA functionality, and now they have a strong case to stop being dragged in that direction.
- soundnote 3y agoI haven't used PWAs on mobile much, but use them a lot on desktop. They're very useful things.
