A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.

Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

Omg just be a browser please. Desktop PWAs are still not a feature in Firefox. Search input elements still don't have a native "clear" button. Hardware acceleration on Linux is only like a year old feature. Etc.

I love you Firefox, but you're losing focus. If I wanted built-in gimmicks I'd use Edge (okay probably not but you get the idea)

PWAs are bloat. I want a browser to do webpages not turn webpages into apps.

PWAs are great. Half the apps in app stores are just packaged browsers, we should take away the need for that bloat...using the engine of your choice would be a bonus. Plus they create the option of skipping app stores entirely, which is another step away from the Google/Apple oligopoly.
