Mozilla does not want to support PWAs in Firefox, yet MDN has a PWA manifest and can be installed in Chromium. (discuss.tchncs.de)

For what is worth, the pwaforfirefox project works beautifully, I use it with discord, teams and tidal everyday.

I don't like or use Discord but what's the benefit of using it as a web app vs the downloadable client?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago (1 children)

better privacy as no process scanning or direct access to cam/mic
better performance as discord desktop app for windows still uses 32bit electron, which makes it slower than the web app

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago

better security as you have an up to date browser engine unlike the desktop app
