You could try Hermit! Itβs literally a way to make βlite apps,β as it calls them. I use it myself and freaking love it.
Thing is, I donβt believe itβs FOSS. π
EDIT: Looks like there is a FOSS alternative called Native Alpha!

Yes, Native Alpha works really well. However, I faintly remember some "beef" between the developers where the Hermit developer claimed that Native Alpha doesn't fully isolate things.
Don't want to throw in false accusations here. It's just what I remember and I'm saying this as a heads-up for anyone concerned. But please take it with a grain of salt.
Fair enough! Not having used Native Alpha myself, I literally canβt comment on that, but itβs definitely something to look into if you have the time/desire to know exactly how/how much things are isolated. π
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? π€
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.
