Not really that worried but rather curious about your opinions. Use what suits your demands best.

But for starters:

Electron is a framework based on Chromium used to develop desktop apps. Examples of apps that are built on Electron are Discord, Element Desktop, MS Teams, Slack, GitHub Desktop, Atom, VS Code and counting

If there's a PWA or Electron version of an app, I go with the PWA 100% of the time.

What plugin do you use in Firefox to add PWA support? That's the ONE thing keeping me from ditching Chromium on desktop. Firefox on Android has PWA support (yay), but desktop still does not (boo).

I tried one or two add-ons in the relatively recent past, and neither worked to my satisfaction. Curious if you've found a better one that will bridge the feature gap and let me ditch Chromium.

The PWA support on android isn't great either. At least compared to chrome or even Samsung Internet.

Agreed. You can't install as an app, just a home screen shortcut, notifications don't take you to the web page when clicked

I use PWAs for some things, but I wish they worked better
