# Potentially useful progressive web apps
|
|
|
|
|
|
2023-09-13 19:06:41 +02:00
|
|
|
PWAs are especially useful for iOS users, since PWAs added to homescreen
|
|
|
|
|
from Safari are able to request notifications permission resulting
|
|
|
|
|
nativeish experience outside of App Store without even having to
|
|
|
|
|
install anything.
|
|
|
|
|
|
2021-10-18 19:37:17 +02:00
|
|
|
Method for distinguishing PWAs from normal websites: adding them to
|
2023-02-26 18:01:13 +01:00
|
|
|
iOS homescreen and seeing which open as "their own apps" _or_ having
|
2021-11-18 11:46:09 +01:00
|
|
|
Chromium suggest "installing" them without manually "installing" them.
|
|
|
|
|
|
2022-06-28 14:48:11 +02:00
|
|
|
Proper identification: `view-source` (`CTRL - U`) and `CTRL - F` for
|
|
|
|
|
`manifest` e.g. `<link rel="manifest" href="/manifest.webmanifest">` in `<head>`.

|
|
|
It looks like `about:apps` on Edge (or all Chromiums?) has a
|
|
|
|
|
`Show applications menu on toolbar` button which then when pressed on a tab
|
|
|
|
|
has more details for PWAs. "App whatever is available" with logo and "Publisher:"
|
|
|
|
|
fields.

## Troubleshooting
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The below is the only not that spammy option, others would include
|
|
|
|
|
`top10vpn.com` and `dnsadblock.com`, but they take a few clicks to navigate
|
|
|
|
|
to useful content, so I opt to not link them directly as I cannot see myself
|
|
|
|
|
ever installing them.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
### Network
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
- [ipleak.net](https://ipleak.net) performs DNS leak test and says a lot of
|
|
|
|
|
what else your browser tells about itself.
