    Also, mobile Firefox has supported PWAs for a long time. I wouldn’t say PWAs on desktop would be useless, but they make much more sense on mobile than on desktop.

      Only use I’ve found for them on desktop personally is the web interfaces for local hardware. I did use it when I was playing with stable diffusion for a bit but never fine tuned it because stable diffusion kept crashing.

      I like them as task bar icons…

      Have to use an extension for that.

      It’s a native feature of Edge, and a buggy version exists in Chrome.

      PWAs are useful on desktop if there’s web apps you use a lot every day. For example, some people at my Workplace are in Google Docs a lot, so a Google Docs PWA would be useful. Separate taskbar/launcher icon, separate window in Alt-Tab, and at least in Chrome, Google Docs has some basic support working while offline.
