Re: [w3c/manifest] Allowing only site-triggered install prompt (#627)

So you want give browsers the ability to limit such buttons with "Install my App"? The button would be hidden, and neither the website, neither the user would understand why.

I think your should not be afraid of such buttons "all over the web". Websites always adapt to users, and when e.g. less than 1% of users use such button on a specific website, it will disappear (or will be moved to some less visible place), because the space on the website is "expensive". It would be like having an add, which is not clicked by anybody (nobody wants such ad). So I believe, that Install buttons would be only at places where it makes sense.

And even if you still want to have power to limit such buttons, giving this power to the browser and probably any other solution could make users very angry , and is a huge space for corruption (a black box oracle, which decides things for us).
