So FireFox removed PWA because... "user research found little to no perceived user benefit to the feature"? Wat?
The extension for it, which I'm pretty sure isn't the most well known thing in the world, has over 6 thousand users. And every other month I try to look for the feature, realize it's not there, and get sad all over again.
Like am I strange for liking the organization PWA allows? Being able to open web apps or sites in a standalone window without being able to accidentally close it if I close everything else in the browser? Screw all the other features if there even are any, that alone is worth it for me. Some things I just want out of my tabs, out of my windows, and not accidentally close them with alt f4, no address bars or other crap, easily open them again... I dunno. Seems a real shame. You could even associate them with profiles? Easy way to create individual contained profiles for a single app and such? Am I missing something here?

Like if I use a normal browser window, it's far too easy to open another tab, then lose the app I wanted to be alone in that window, then close the window because hey I wanted that tab gone and I didn't think anything else was there, and then I closed the ap I didn't want closed. Like in Chromium browsers if I click a link, any link that moves off the page, it opens a new tab. In an actual browser window. Away from the PWA. This is good! This is exactly what I'd want to have happen.

@talon This is part of the reason I don't have tabs in @agregore

I like to be able to use my OS's features for window switching so if I know I had a "soundcloud" window open I can navigate to it with `alt+space` "sound" "enter" or quickly list all my open windows regardless of app.
