@vincentmorneau @ecjs FWIW, I read Mozilla's position as saying they intend to show the app-install prompt, just in a way that's unobtrusive enough to not need a way for developers to turn it off with the `beforeinstallprompt` event. Their prompt looks pretty reasonable from that perspective:

This is very different from Safari's stance of never encouraging web users to add websites to their home screens.
