Dose anyone know of a Foss web app handler/"installer" that is not a browser. I use firefox on my phone but the way it handles web apps is lacking. What is out there I could use for this that is not a full web browser itself as I don't want a second one on my phone. Thanks

I don't get it, why do you need a separate handler/installer? A "web app" is nothing more than a browser window that's soft-locked to one website. What's your preferred browser? If it allows you to add websites to your home screen, then just do that.

What am I missing? ๐Ÿค”

Firefox doesn't handle webapps well that is why.

I use it for Facebook and Wefwef, it seems seems to work fine for those. Maybe it depends on the website.
