Please switch to Chrome and continue with your tracked and dissected purchase route.”&lt;p&gt;Is there any other anti-Chrome bastion than iOS’ Safari?&lt;p&gt;Old E2E runner installed Google Chrome on my machine (didn’t even ask but that’s user space on dev machine so whatever) which grew into my MacOS machine. It cannot run in background but there is another daemon that constantly updates it. Multiple times a day I get notification that new service has been installed to run in background.&lt;p&gt;I’m not sure if that’s something I want to fight for.</text></comment>

Apple changed webapps to delete indexedDB periodically even if they are inatalled on the home screen.&lt;p&gt;There&amp;#x27;s no way to have a great experience if you can&amp;#x27;t store data permanently.</text></comment>
