As I'm building a PWA, I'm finding certain Web APIs that were intended for PWAs to be incompatible on Firefox/Safari, which defeats the purpose of "write it once/works everywhere on the web". For example, the Web Share Target and install prompt APIs have regressed from a W3 standard to a Chrome-specific standard.

I'm looking into Capacitor/Cordova as an alternative in the meantime.
