I was hoping this meant that Google was giving up on PWAs :) But no, sadly. It&#x27;s about a hack to bypass some restrictions that&#x27;s being blocked.<p>The reasons I don&#x27;t like PWAs are inefficient resource use (same reason I don&#x27;t like Electron apps) and integration with web tracking. A standalone app has no access to your web cookies. PWA&#x27;s do, as they run within the same browser.<p>I know it&#x27;s super handy for developers but as a user I avoid them.
