I second this. The Outlook PWA for mobile is actually a fairly decent example of a web app done right compared to a lot of other ones, it works in Firefox for Android, supports notifications, and can be installed to the home screen.

I don’t think any password managers that don’t have that feature currently are likely to implement this feature after the beating that LastPass took in the press about it:
LastPass breach is worse than you think because URLs were unencrypted
Maybe an app might be able to cache the metadata locally but I don’t think it would be something people expect to be unprotected at this point.
Looks like Firefox add-ons can be transferred with “[n]o interaction with Mozilla representatives”:

You do have to include your source code though if you use any kind of code obfuscation or minimization though:

To be more accurate: Google websites kept logging browsing information, even when using Chrome’s Incognito mode.
Ideally, a website shouldn’t be able to detect whether the browser is in private browsing/incognito modes at all. We’ve already seen news sites using the ability to detect private browsing to enforce paywalls for example.
The names of the similar features in other browsers aren’t much better but most browsers are pretty clear about what it protects against and what it does not protect against.
Chrome mentions that it doesn’t hide you from the websites you go to on the incognito window new tab page and their documention:
https://support.google.com/chrome/answer/95464
They’ve also had mentions that it doesn’t protect against everything since at least 2013:
Going incognito doesn’t affect the behavior of other people, servers, or software.
Edge mentions it on their InPrivate window new tab page and their documentation:
Firefox mentions it on their private browsing window new tab page and their documentation (and highlights it actually):
https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/private-browsing-use-firefox-without-history
Safari doesn’t mention it in either place from what I can tell:
https://support.apple.com/guide/safari/browse-privately-ibrw1069/mac
Their browser doesn’t say that it protects you from websites (including their own) tracking you.
Also, they consider it a problem if a website can detect if you’re using incognito mode: https://www.blog.google/outreach-initiatives/google-news-initiative/protecting-private-browsing-chrome/
Chrome will likewise work to remedy any other current or future means of Incognito Mode detection.
Having a signal sent to websites to tell them that you’re in Incognito mode would make things worse for users and would probably work about as well to reduce tracking as the Do Not Track header.
And that’s a bad thing?
The desktop is finally catching up with the more restrictive permissions model where an app doesn’t just have the ability to do anything the user can do but instead only has access to what it needs.
Going with a familiar interface style like the ones people already use on mobile just makes sense.
What would you want it to look like instead?
