Potentially useful progressive web apps

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.

Method for distinguishing PWAs from normal websites: adding them to iOS homescreen and seeing which open as “their own apps” or having Chromium suggest “installing” them without manually “installing” them.

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.

TODO: Some of these may be miscategorized while not fullfilling the criteria of PWA.

DNS

  • Quad9.net - I have no idea what is the point of this being a PWA, but it is and suggests me to install it and as I like them, I am including them here.

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 performs DNS leak test and says a lot of what else your browser tells about itself.

Not PWAs but still possibly useful for homescreens

Continuing the previous method, these open in Safari.
