And so I will be looking forward to the magical era of PWAs replacing all mobile applications because clearly push notifications was what was holding them back all these years.
Even though a tiny fraction of mobile apps use them but I guess we will ignore that.
Oh, definitely. But if they do (and don't at least give me a way to immediately opt out of that) the app is gone from my phone – and they have no other way of reaching me. Beats the absolute nightmare that is SMS notifications and spam, in my view.
Are you saying that Android has third party filters that surveil all your notifications in the name of blocking ones you might not want to see?
