Re: [w3c/manifest] beforeinstallprompt : Prompting user makes it to hard to discern whether the user truly wanted to "install" a web app (#835) from Arthur Stolyar on 2019-12-16 (public-webapps-github@w3.org from December 2019)

@jyasskin that prompt is uncontrollable and intrusive, just as random popups on websites. It shows immediately when you open a website, even if you're not logging in. The only way to prevent Firefox to show that on-load, is to not serve Web Manifest until user is logged in, which is weird.

That said, `beforeinstallprompt` would allow to not show that popup on page load, but rather show it when user logged in or at another "happy moment".
