Offline support has been part of the PWA installability criteria since the beginning. In Chrome 89, we'll warn you if your PWA doesn't have an offline experience. In Chrome 93, we'll start enforcing the updated install criteria for new PWAs.

Luckily, we no longer need to hack around it!
The CSS aspect-ratio property has landed in Chromium 88, and will soon be in Firefox & Safari 🎉
