That's actually pretty cool, it could allow for an extension to locally hide certain types of content without using a full on blocklist. It could detect homophobic sentences and block that content for example. Or a more intelligent ad blocker that blocks sponsor messages and links. Could be used to detect SEO garbage websites from common patterns and hide them from search results. I see many useful use cases for this
Times I would use that: 0
Times I have wished FF desktop supported "installing" apps as PWAs: Infinity and beyond
Jeez, Mozilla, I really want to like you and donate, but your priorities are effed up.
For me it's 0 for both. Even on mobile where PWAs are supported I block PWA manifests in uBo since FF thinks that I am too dumb to handle having both "add to home screen" and "install" in the menu at the same time.
But we all have different preferences, I am sure there are some users who will enjoy the new feature.
