With the number of people concerned about privacy, it is a wonder why chrome is even popular.

    And if you miss PWAs, Firefox got an extension for it now. Check out PWAsForFirefox. And unless Edge and Chrome, you can edit the name before pinning the site.

    A few bugs and drawbacks though. It uses its own profile, so you will probably want Firefox Sync to transfer your password vault and extensions to it.

        Are you talking about Firefox for Android? Because no, regular Firefox doesnt.

          It’s not the “add to home screen” button that installs a link which then works without Firefox UI?

            Thats on android only. And no, it isnt. If its a PWA then that button changes to “Install”. Which does almost the same thing as “Add to home screen” except it opens the webpage up as if it was a separate app. That means it gets its own entry in the “Recent apps” list and its own icon, and it hides the address bar.

            Edit: You can test this yourself by going to lemmy.world on your phone. It is a PWA. Any website can really be a PWA, it just needs a manifest file. Lemmy.worlds manifest are available here and you can see what settings it contains.
