Maybe another use case could revive this conversation. I am making a [web game portal](https://webgamer.io/), which is basically simply a list of games that open in a new tab when clicked. The portal itself can be installed as a PWA. I want games to open in the users' default browser, not inside the PWA, because it is a more familiar and full-featured experience for the user. On desktop (Chrome, Mac), clicking on a game in the PWA opens it in the default browser, which is exactly what I want! On Android, when opening a game from the PWA portal, it opens it in the in-PWA web view, which is a pretty bad user experience because the user cannot rotate to landscape mode in that view, and cannot use regular browser features in general. This makes the experience of using the PWA portal worse than using the portal in the browser. That's unfortunate. On iOS, launching the PWA (after adding it to the home screen manually) is a bit better, because the web view allows rotating to landscape mode, but still, I would prefer launching the game in the user's default browser. My `scope` is left blank. I tried different `scope` variations and it didn't change this behavior. -- Reply to this email directly or view it on GitHub: https://github.com/w3c/manifest/issues/989#issuecomment-1429443786 You are receiving this because you are subscribed to this thread.
