Keep seeing people talk about wefwef, but I can't even find it to download
I see Connect, Jerboa, Lemmotif, and Liftoff
It's a progressive web app, basically a website that you install to your phone that behaves like a normal app. It's one of the best PWAs I've personally encountered too.
Connect works well for me on Pixel6! I feel they are fixing stuff too because it has less and less quirks every day
Here you go…
https://wefwef.app/settings/install
Doesn't work for me. I have Android and I used DuckDuckGo initially but there wasn't any install option, then I used Firefox and clicked Install from the settings while I was on the homepage and on the settings/install page but neither did anything, they just moved me to the app launcher (my home screen).
It's because duckduckgo at least historically did not support PWAs.
Still didn't work on Firefox though
Chrome probably works the best for PWAs, maybe try some Chromium alternatives to see if works properly.
You're right, it installed without problem on Chrome, I'm writing this from wefwef
It's not an app, it's a website that resembles an app. Apollo, specifically.
Oh, didn't realize it wasn't in the Play store
FWIW, Wefwef is a progressive web app, not a native app.
Tbh it's fine to use it on the browser too.
