They work fine for both iOS and macOS. Safari scores higher than Firefox on Android.

Don’t be fooled by scores like this that include non-standard behaviour. Including Blink-only behaviour that both Mozilla and Apple have rejected is obviously going to artificially inflate Chrome’s score.

I guess I should have made clear that I don’t have much experience with macOS, but I stand by them being useless on iOS.

Last time I tried developing a PWA-first app on iOS it was horrible. Users couldn’t figure out how to install it, notifications, workers, haptics, etc had all sorts of arbitrary restrictions.

Scores intentionally do not include non-standard or experimental capabilities. I'll make that clearer, thank you!
