Are Progressive Web Apps affected by ad blockers or privacy extensions?
Yes, Progressive Web Apps (PWAs) can be affected by ad blockers and privacy extensions. Since ad blockers and privacy extensions are designed to block intrusive advertisements and protect user privacy by blocking certain types of web content, they can potentially interfere with the functionality of PWAs. However, it depends on how the ad blockers and privacy extensions are implemented and the specific policies they enforce. Some ad blockers may block requests made by PWAs, impacting essential features such as push notifications or offline capabilities.
