I cannot use a browser that is owned by a company who's financial model is dependent upon browsers being nerfed.
Apple and Google have far too many incentives to wall garden browsers, Apple due to the app store, Google due to advertising.
Independent browsers are the only safe path forward.
Funny, I prefer to use Safari because it is just a damn web browser and isn't trying to let every webslop dev try and re-invent the wheel in slow JITed Javascript and build their own crappy operating system. Whatever their reason, Apple is the enemy of my enemy, and therefore, in this regard, my friend.
Well this preview includes many changes made to WebKit which Kagi, a so called independent browser, depends on. It's good news for you.
You're correct. Which makes it all the more inscrutable that the Firefox team doesn't embrace PWA's as a differentiator.
What did they nerf
Apple: adblocking, PWA being put in a odd spot, surely to be followed by a post "nobody was using it" before being removed, if they mention it at all.
Google: ad blocking
Ad blocking isn't nerfed

PWA for starters? They are not interested in Indie devs anyways. Might as well let us use PWA no?
PWAs enjoy excellent support in Safari:

Safari arguably has better PWA support than Firefox last time I checked.
