I have been loving Native Alpha. Being able to use web versions of apps and not be forced to hand over absurd privacy violating permissions is awesome. My only problem is it appears to run straight off of Chrome’s web engine, and I would rather use Firefox. In large part because of extensions/addons.

    I’ve never used Native Alpha, but from what I saw at a glance, Firefox does have that same functionality built in through the “Add to Home Screen” option, but only if the site is a PWA. Otherwise the home screen icon will just open the site in the browser like it normally would.

      native alpha works with any application, and is a manager of sorts. so it’s quite a lot more ergonomic and reliable to use.
