From a user privacy perspective, it is always better, (and frequently a legal requirement), to inform the user in clear, understandable terms what they are agreeing to. The beforeinstallprompt is a key component in user privacy for PWAs. beforeinstallprompt allows a website to clearly and concisely explain to the user what installing a specific app means and what the user benefit is for doing so. If the beforeinstallprompt event is removed, the user is surprised by a prompt with little context due to the generic messaging in the default prompt. Frequently this default prompt comes at the wrong time in the user lifecycle and leads to user confusion. I've read through the above thread and lined issue, and it feels misguided -- the working group added beforeinstallprompt as an essential privacy-preserving feature. -- You are receiving this because you are subscribed to this thread.
