Describe the bug
Unable to enable or use Safari Extensions from app when "Save to Home Screen" (PWA) used on iOS. I use Nostore successfully when just using Safari Mobile.

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

Go to snort.social
Tap the ^ icon on the toolbar and select "Add to Home Screen"
Go the app from Home Screen
You won't see any toolbar so you can enable the extension.

Expected behavior
I would expect to somehow get to the toolbar to enable Nostore Safari Extension

Screenshots

Device: iPhone 12 Pro
OS: iOS 16.3
Browser mobile safari/add to Home Screen (PWA)

Additional context
I understand that as a PWA you probably want fullscreen which hides the toolbar. Not sure if there is another way that could trigger the toolbar to be shown or not.

The end goal would be to somehow enable the use of a Safari Web Extension. In this case Nostore
