Description of the issue:
WINDOWS-DESKTOP: Using brave://flags to enable PWA capabilities (same as in Chrome), does not enable PWA support or ServiceWorker behavior for Desktop.
Steps to Reproduce (add as many as necessary): 1. 2. 3.
- Enable PWA “brave://flags”
- Try this public site to see if prompted via intrinsic installer, or check hamburger for install…, and note that this site does use
beforeinstallprompt. But it does not matter whether it uses or not. I also have many PWA’s on private servers and they do not work in Brave either, even though they work in other browsers.
Actual Result (gifs and screenshots are welcome!):
Expected result:
Prompt to install desktop PWA
Reproduces how often:
100%
Brave Version(about:brave):
Version 0.60.45 Chromium: 72.0.3626.109 (Official Build) (64-bit)
Reproducible on current live release (yes/no):
Yes
Additional Information:
I am pretty expert on PWA standards and technology. (lol, Hi Brendan, Ben! - its DSim/Formerly Architect at MSFT owning JavaScript).
