News

Releases for Windows are now signed with a code signing certificate provided by the SignPath Foundation. This means that it is now less likely that PWAsForFirefox executables will be false-positively detected as malware by some antivirus software, and that you can now verify that the executables were built automatically from the source code in the repository.

Additionally, all built assets for all platforms are now also attested using GitHub Artifact Attestations and can be verified using the GitHub CLI.
