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

They're actually secure too. It's always interesting to me how iphone owners are so concerned about security and privacy, right up until Apple tells them not to.

    I've had an Apple user on here try to tell me that PWAs would open new security issues if they could be installed by any browser. They didn't want to accept that a PWA would need both a browser exploit and an iOS exploit to have the same malicious potential as an iOS app has with just an iOS exploit. But they didn't care that literally any website has the same potential for exploitation as PWAs do.

    I genuinely don't understand how you can get to this understanding without willfully ignoring how these things work.
