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

I am using https://lichess.org/ and prefer it over the native iOS App for this free chess website. It is in fact a smoothly running PWA and even supports notifications (e.g. to remind one to move in correspondence games).

Same goes with Voyager ( https://vger.app/ ), that was used to create this post.

F* you, Apple!

It seems the solution is simple. Don't use apple products anymore. Windows or linux.

Unlike apple, there's ways to make windows private and secure and most distros of linux are mostly private and mostly secure

This topic is about mobile devices, not desktop. Last I checked, Windows and Linux aren't mobile OS's.

[–] Zacryon@feddit.de 0 points 8 months ago

There are mobile Linux distros.

I am looking forward to installing Ubuntu Touch on my device:

There are also a bunch of others, which I haven't looked into.

The company said cutting off PWAs was part of an effort to comply with the Digital Markets Act, arguing browsers other than its own Safari software would expose users to security and privacy risks that were not permitted under the law.

They are so full of shit, it's unbelievable! Are they really claiming that their own browser is THE ONLY legal browser there is?!

It's blatant anti-competitive behavior and anybody who cares about antitrust should be outraged about this and similar efforts. Getting legal protection for such decisions is nothing but regulatory capture.
