  • Why did certain websites stopped supporting PWA (Progressive Web Apps)?

Some sites used to support PWAs, but now they do not. For example on an old phone they had a working PWA icon, but on my new device they can only make shortcuts.

On the new device another site used to work over Brave but not on Vanadium, but since Brave got updated Brave wont't work either. I believe this is because some kind of Chromium change.

Does anyone know what changed and how I can help websites patch these?

    Pavestone2734 This issue may be difficult to address in the abstract, but naming some specific web sites might result in productive discussion.

      de0u Unless there is absolutely no way to pinpoint the issues or it's not a commonly known regressioni I'd like to refrain from naming these sites, as they are able to identify my location.

        Pavestone2734 if you can't give the details and refuse to provide site names for someone else to check I'm afraid there's limited chance to test and fix if it's broken...

        Your best bet then is to find examples of the other similar sites you will be able to unveil, once you confirm they're now broken too.
