- robertoandred 3y agoWhat happens to those PWAs when you uninstall Firefox?
- dylan604 3y agoyeah, it should just open up in the default browser setting within the OS. having to create a shortcut based on which browser would be ridiculous. must like the post you were replying to was a ridiculously proposed comment.
- worksonmine 3y ago> having to create a shortcut based on which browser would be ridiculous Depends how you look at it, Chromecast is only available from Chrome. If I want a specific page to open in Chrome because I use it mainly to cast videos should I have to switch my main browser to Chrome? Probably not how it works today and my initial comment didn't imply always open in Firefox even if not default browser, but thinking about it maybe that's how it should work, or the option to choose should be available?
- int_19h 3y agoFrom the casual user's perspective, it does not "open in Firefox", though. It opens in a separate window with very different chrome, and you have to poke around to even determine which browser is actually hosting it. Furthermore, on macOS specifically, PWAs are fairly well decoupled from browsers. For example, if you install a PWA in Safari, and then click on an external link in said PWA, it will not open that link in Safari, but rather in whatever your default browser is.
