What PWA do you use? I think they're a neat idea but I haven't come up with an actual use case yet.

I just use it for any tab which I always have open, so they're organised on my taskbar. That way I don't end up with 40 tabs of like 5 different websites that I just pathologically open up a new tab for each time I revisit, having to scan through them all each time I want to switch to find one from before. That's an ADHD thing though. Effectively for some websites I want the tab to always be pinned and easily accessible with a large icon for a visual cue, and this way that all happens automatically

Gmail x2. Pulse SMS. Keep. Calendar. Whatsapp, Facebook, Messenger. All as task bar icons.

I used to use Chrome for this but every now and then it'd break and they would either open in the wrong profile, or they'd add a tab to the main browser rather than opening as a window.
