I switched to Opera only to discover that PWAs aren't supported.. andddd immediately switched back to Brave.

I use PWAs in Chrome at work and Edge when it was my personal browser. Seems like Opera is the odd one out not supporting them.

I use PWAs and faux-PWAs like Gmail, onshape, SimplyPrint, PhotoPea, VectorPea, Google Keep, Outlook (PWA is better than the native app), and many others. This is the future.

PWAs should be a basic feature by 2025. The solution shouldn't be to use another browser, but to implement it in Opera.

Hi. This is how I have been browsing for the last 20 years. Opera (2 years) -> Firefox (5 years) -> Chrome (3) -> Edge (2) -> Brave (7) -> Opera (Last month).

I am really happy to see the big progress of Opera, I feel like it really understands all that a user wants to have in a Browser. However, I am shocked to have seen that after 20 years, a basic fetature mus-have for any browser is not present in Opera.

I hope someone from the Dev-Team takes a look at this #issue

I prefer Opera but, I would like to run sites as apps as well.
