i don't use edge op. i probably would if you didn't need to spend 25 minutes in edge://config turning off all of the bloatware bullshit that comes with it, but we both know they're just going to add more

I briefly used edge apps for outlook and yospos but then I realized edge is bad and safari 17 added web apps so now I do that instead

i use chome at work, and the only chome "app" i have is for google meets, since the company uses meets, and it's better for them not to be in a browser tab (imo)

at home i use firefox, and i will never allow a webpage to escape from the confines of the browser, they do not deserve that status on my computer

Mac. it got introduced in Sonoma/Safari 17 (not sure which or if both are required)

why am I not surprised they gate a browser feature behind an os update? they do most hosed up things sometimes

I mean, slow rolling PWAs everywhere but especially on iOS seems like the most natural thing possible for Apple, given their market interests

all modern "desktop apps" use electron so they're just web apps really

our company have made a bespoke streaming app to replace citrix and of course they used electron for the client launcher, since displaying a couple labels and buttons is an impossible herculean task without hauling an entire web browser + css + lovely js toolkit
