That's good. The Fullscreen API isn't exactly the same as a PWA, but it might go a long way to make my PWAs feel a bit more native again.

I see that the support for the Fullscreen API isn't available in iOS 17.3 but will be available once 17.4 lands.

That’s interesting.

I use that with a site I make that I want to look and feel more like an app and so I use the PWA fullscreen stuff now.

I have no need for all the browser url bar and buttons and it just wastes precious screen space for my application.
