Shows why guessing and gut feel are bad basis for opinions.
In fact, Apple’s problem was that the PWA serviceworker runs as root, a bad decision made years ago. Enabling Chrome-hosted PWAs means Google gets root on those peoples’ phones.
We can still lambast Apple and go all ad hom, but let’s stay factual?
- moffkalast 2y agoOk running something like that as root by design is enough of a self own from Apple that I really don't need to say anything more, hahaha
- andrewflnr 2y agoFactual ad hom indeed.
- urbandw311er 2y agoNot doubting you but care to share some links to back this up? I’d be interested to read more.
- theK 2y agoSounds like something very fixable though. Why is it so difficult for apple to fix the "engineering mistake" and move the PWA process to a less privileged user or even a jail?
- rejhgadellaa 2y agoService Workers do not require an installed PWA. Every regular website can have a PWA. I'm not sure who came up with this explanation for Apple trying to kill PWAs in Europe, but it makes zero sense.
