WHY ARE TECH REPORTERS SLEEPING ON THE BIGGEST APP STORE STORY?
Summary from the TLDR Web Dev newsletter
Antitrust scrutiny and regulatory pressure on Apple and Google's app stores are opening up opportunities for competing web browsers to challenge the mobile app duopoly. There is the potential for browsers to enable Progressive Web Apps (PWAs) and directories of PWAs as alternatives to traditional app stores. Currently, both Google and Apple employ strategies to limit the capabilities of competing browsers, but regulation may change that soon.
