You'd have to restrict localstorage and stuff like that too, else they could save data and then send it when they regain network access. If you have a use-case, or some ideas, there's Chrome bug page for "offline-only PWAs&qu

According to this[0] blog post Lambda@Edge has significantly longer latency (due in part to a smaller number of locations). Cloudflare also uses V8 isolates instead of whole VMs, so much lower overhead. Disadvantage is that you can only run
