This is the backdrop to the biggest app store story nobody is writing about: on pain of steep fines, gatekeepers are opening up to competing browsers. This, in turn, will enable competitors to replace app stores with directories of Progressive Web Apps. Capable browsers that expose web app installation and powerful features to developers can kickstart app portability, breaking open the mobile duopoly.
i have always been a fan of PWAs and used them since day1 on both ChromeOS and Android
people shouldn't always rush in to instal apps that run separate from the browser they already have installed instal a PWA has benefits especially on laptops/Android
like you can still have a PWA installed that will then have the same functionality as a separate app difference is a PWA you can use the browser extensions to protect you further
