> Modal windows can't be bookmarked or shared as links

We use modal windows specifically for this reason (for our payment application's checkout page).

Also using a modal significantly improves the checkout experience in case of SDK flows for payment methods like Klarna, Google pay etc.

Personally I feel modal windows are better aligned to the user's flow of attention. We also have redirection flows for these payment methods to open the authentication page in a new tab but we pick the modal flow ever single time for a better experience.

You can get a feel of what I'm talking about over here: https://demo-hyperswitch.netlify.app/checkout
