I’m wondering if using the website or installing a PWA would be the same from a privacy point of view.
I’m using Firefox with uBlock origin, so I’m wondering what tracking information the site could get if I allow the PWA.
Also in MDN it says the app can integrate with other installed apps, so can the site know more information about my phone when installing the PWA?
Should I continue to just use websites to prevent as much tracking as possible?
A major pro is isolation. They have less permissions and you can block what they can access and block lots of trackers and cookies . Apps have much more permissions and have lots of trackers built in.
Isolation is a big one for me - my device is rooted and has broken attestation so a lot of proprietary apps don’t work.
Using the PWA version (online banking, uber and more) allows me to use those services without them poking around in my phone’s filesystem checking for root.
