@Pauldb8, I understand you are frustrated, and we welcome your participation - but I kindly remind you of our [code of conduct](https://www.w3.org/Consortium/cepc/) ... inflammatory statements like "Firefox does not support open web" and  "Safari Explorer (the new IE...)" are inappropriate. 

Regarding "beforeinstallprompt", as shown by various browsers, the ability to install a web application is not gated on an install prompt. A user can simply "add to homescreen" any web page they choose - so even if all browsers supported the BIP event, one might still need to handle a situation where BIP is cancelled, and then the user manually chooses to install a web application without BIP (ie.., progressive enhancement to Safari)... Similarly, a user may choose not to install the application at all (progressive enhancement to Firefox).
