This will hopefully move more people to use Firefox again.
Their absolute and stubborn refusal to implement PWA made me give up on Firefox recently.
I tried using Chrome for PWA only and using Firefox for my main browser for a while (to help their market share), but it made it very difficult because external links would open in Chrome.
I've found like 80% of sites I use are self hosted so I found it easier to just stop using websites with ads than dealing with Firefox π
All this over running web sites as apps? Why would I ever want a website as an app?
If I understand what you are saying correctly.
Because itβs handy to have some apps as separate windows outside of the browser so u can quickly alt tab to them.
