# 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>`.
|
|

|

|
|
- https://developer.mozilla.org/docs/Web/Manifest
|
|
|
|
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._**

|
## 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.
|
|
|
|
## Not PWAs but still possibly useful for homescreens
|
|
|
|
Continuing the previous method, these open in Safari.
