Good point. https://hydrogen.element.io works very well as a PWA, but doesn’t have push support yet.

HSTS preloading blacklists may at some future point, block PWA as well.

The real problem is indeed how much power society has given these corps. It's time to take back some power or we will never be able to.

Even easier, the website used by the PWA can end up on the blacklist of Google Safe Browsing [1]

In the medium/long term, this would just train people to ignore those popups. Or to use a patched browser.

There is simply no way to suppress content as long as there's enough demand. Somebody's always going to find a way to deliver. That's even true for really illegal stuff like drugs, copyright infringement or child abuse material, but so much more for content which is legal.

What on earth are you talking about?

1) As far as I am aware, there is no "HSTS preloading blacklist". I'm not sure what that would even mean.

2) HSTS preloading is not a prerequisite for creating a PWA. Nor is presence on the HSTS preload list (not "blacklist") an obstacle to creating a PWA.
