Hi all, I was just wondering what the rationale behind the Safelisted Protocol Handlers in this spec here:
https://html.spec.whatwg.org/multipage/system-state.html#safelisted-scheme
... and whether this applies only to PWA's (running from within a browser) or also applies to TWA's (PWA "installed" on device and opened as more of a web-frame... sorry, not sure on correct terminology for that).
I can't see the reason why having such a whitelist is necessary (that's not to say there isn't one, I just can't quite grasp it) and it makes developing TWAs a bit difficult in the sense that existing apps would have to adapt to use a web+ prefix for their existing links to support TWA clients.
