Is this any different from creating an icon which opens the website in a browser?
Remember Firefox’s SSB that got removed before anyone knew about it since no one was using it, since it was behind a
about:configflag, that users didn’t know about so they didn’t use it so Fx removed it? Weird-ass circular logic from Mozilla. I would have loved that PWA feature.Currently I’m using ungoogled-chromium on Linux just for PWA because of this decision made by Mozilla 😔
Nice, this could especially be important in the Linux Mobile space for things like https://windy.com and https://web.pulsepoint.org and the scanner radio and other similar websites
So… does it block Ads ?
Doesn’t appear to.
But looks like even GNOME Web supports extensions now. So no reason that something like uBlock origin couldn’t be implemented right?
Adblocking is built in.
IIRC extensions are sadly not a part of stable Gnome Web yet.
Is this doing something similar to Mint’s web apps? Great to have as flatpak regardless 👍
There is also this new rust/cosmic app: https://github.com/elevenhsoft/WebApps
This is really cool, it would be nice to have some quick options like start minimized or minimize to tray.
So like Mozilla Prism?
Do you mean Webrunner, or Chromeless?
It’s Prism still around? I used it back in the day but I thought it had been discontinued.
Nah, it is disconinued since many years, I thought it was kinda neat at first, but realized it would be faster to just use the full firefox browser instead.
Or Nativefier (which uses electron) but with a nice GUI.
Nativefier was great. I recall that project struggling at the end really needing funding.
Cool. I currently use Ferdium, but this seems like a much more lightweight alternative as it doesn’t ship its own Electron or whatever.
I was thinking exactly that yesterday, I looked for a way to have few web apps without using ferdium.
Cool.
+1 for using codebergFor whatever it is worth Linux mint comes with onde of those already bundled https://github.com/linuxmint/webapp-manager
You right.
What browser engine does it use? And what happens if links are clicked? Can we specify which browser and profile is opened?
WebKit apparently
