From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

I mean in firefox, not trying to get fancy.
I use Brave pretty much just for that purpose, while I use Firefox to browse everything else.
There is Firefox PWA, but it feels like such a shitty hack (don't get me wrong, it's not badly made, but they're forced by the circumstances to make a setup process that is one big headache) that I'd rather have a browser that has official and solid support and it also doubles as my browser to test web content on Blink, so it's a win-win for me
Problem is that Webapps require a very unhardened browser. Complete caching, cookies saved, serviceworkers in the background, so if Firefox got the feature hardening would break it
Isn't that kind of the point though? I'd appreciate the option, but I don't know how usable actual web apps would be without access to those things
Yes of course. Thats why support would totally be possible, but it needs to be a seperate unhardened firefox profile. Then all good.
Yea, I tried with Firefox PWA, but as you have told, it was not usable for me. Most PITA was, that I had to install my plugins on any PWA again and again.. I would love using a browser which is not chromium based but has nice PWA features.
Maybe you can try GNOME Web if you don't like Chromium, it should have them too, not sure how good the implementation is, though
It seems to work as I want 😃 thank you!
Awesome!
