We need to exert more pressure on apple and eu to not remove PWAs. Every signature counts, please sign and share EU has already started a preliminary investigation on this http://archive.today/2024.02.26-223134/https://www.ft.com/content/d2f7328c-5851-4f16-8f8d-93f0098b6adc

Firefox for Android supports PWAs, only Desktop Firefox dropped the support

Which honestly makes sense, what’s the point of PWA on desktop?

Web apps are awesome on desktop especially when common clients like Skype and Slack are absolute fucking shit with zero dev time spent on them because Electron is a lazy alternative despite being shit software that needs to fucking die.

Thankfully --no-remote parameter still sort of works to make Firefox semi usable as a web app.

How is a web app any better than an electron app? Electron is just a wrapper for a web app.
