Hi folks

Here I found out that installing a PWA actually uses the Vanadium Browser (not a WebView like native apps)

I've also read this material, but I'm still not sure what the answer is to this question:

When using a PWA, do I get the Vanadium sandbox, Site Isolation protection, State Partitioning and all other Vanadium security features?

Example:
If I create three PWAs for three different websites, will they be isolated from each other just like I open three tabs in the Vanadium browser?

    State Partitioning is not really good in Vanadium. Cookies are not isolated per domain.

    But apart from that the process isolation between tabs is probably the same as between PWAs and tabs, but not sure about that.

    I wish someone would pick up development of good old WebApps. It had some great advantages compared to regular webapps:

    • Any site can be run with a proper webapp-like minimal UI
    • Every site has its own storage, so the isolation you're talking about is part of its design
    • You can whitelist per webapp from which domains resources are allowed to be loaded
    • You get an easy list of all webapps, plus homescreen shortcuts if desires

    Unfortunately, it's not been developed for years now and has some issues, like

    • For some sites, cookies aren't retained for whatever reason
    • You cannot search for text inside a page
    • Using a WebView has some downsides security-wise AFAIK

    Native Alpha does a similar thing, but it's got too many downsides compared to WebApps imho.

      Falcon Well, that's why I mentioned it.

      To my knowledge, even the paid version doesn't support whitelisting external domains and the UX of the webapps list is really stupid compared to the WebApps one.
