So unless I’m mistaken, PWAs in their most “ideal” form (vs how Apple has implemented them) kinda hang around after I’ve visited them, can use some arbitrary amount of disk space, leave background processes running, and can send push notifications even after I’ve navigated elsewhere. It sounds like to some extent they effectively get to install themselves on my device without my permission, with visiting the site in question acting as consent. Am I incorrect?
If all the above is true, I can’t say I’m too happy with the feature as a user and hope there’s a universal off switch buried in settings somewhere. If I choose to use a website over a native app it’s due to its ephemerality, so I have no interest in web apps that stay past their welcome.
If on the other hand the behavior is 100% opt in, that’s fine as long as I’m not shown banners trying to sell me on the PWA all the time.
