I parsed that sentence as - the separate web app gets its own cookie jar, and it's pre-populated with whatever cookies existed for that website in the browser at the time the user created the separate web app, but from that point forward nothing is shared between browser and web app.
Yes, that's also how I parsed it.
Because the browser login cookies would transfer to the web app, why would they have to log in again when they open the web app?
Correct.
Wow, I hadn't heard of CSS nesting before! Definitely glad to see another of my favorite SCSS features making it into regular CSS:

I've been using the Safari Web App for Slack and it's a far better experience than the Electron app that Slack distributes. Much smoother, lower battery consumption - just a win overall.
> One time codes
Previously supported in Safari through other technology, the ability to have input fields that suggest received one-time codes is now available in WKWebView for iOS 17.2 and iPadOS 17.2.
One more reason not to move away from Orion. Though means nothing as screen time restrictions on websites don’t work with 3rd party browsers.

Why is this a bad feature? I quite like not having to jump back and forth between my browser and messages when I get a 2FA code.
You completely misunderstood. Previously this wasn’t supported in Orion, and this was a reason to use Safari instead of other browsers. Now this reason no longer exists. I’m all for it.
Ah, cool. Thanks for clarifying.
> After a user adds a web app to the Home Screen or Dock, no other website data is shared, which is great for privacy.
So an offline-first app will not work. A user has to login if they want to see the same data when they open a web app from the home screen and when they open the same web app from the browser, and the data has to be synced in the cloud to make that work. Great for privacy.
