I'm using them heavily as well. Mostly good. Painful though when moving between computers as you have to set them up on each one. If they can get it to sync eventually that'd be handy.

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.
