Idk but PWAs on a pixel just suck
Well, on my pixel anyway they do
Only set a few up earlier this week and they absolutely suck - on my other devices they work as should be -on pixel they don't really work like individual apps, PWAs should get ride of browsed junk - like address bar etc which happens on my other devices OK pixel I'm left with 'site settings' at top(screenshot)that countersocial at top shouldn't be there
@ecksmc I think that largely depends on both the site and the browser. I've got some sites that work great as a PWA and others which don't behave quite right (like what you see in your screenshot).
Sites have to be specifically designed to do the cool "hide the address bar" thing (and I had to do quite a bit of tinkering to get my own site to do that).
@john_b yeah I get that
Although I have set up same PWAs on different devices - CoSo I have set on pixel and other devices using same version of chrome and pixel is different from other device - other devices overlay search works in CoSo and the site settings aren't on show like the pixel PWA
@ecksmc I'm not sure if CoSo offers a proper PWA, and I can't check the presence of 'display=standalone' in the manifest.json because Cloudflare apparently thinks I'm a hax0r.
I know setting that value in my manifest is really all it took to get my site(s) to behave well as full-screen PWAs on my Pixel phone.

@john_b pesky cloudflare 😆
I've been using a PWA for CoSo on my Chromebook for years and on smartphones they've always work perfectly for me
This pixel is only device I've has issues with PWAs for sites not just CoSo - that said its minor issues tbh can still use the PWAs - more an annoyance 😆 cause I know *things* ain't perfect
