Yeah, some of these questions made more sense for mobile than desktop. For example, I want to split tabs on desktop, but I don't on mobile. Likewise, I don't really care about PWAs on mobile (there's usually an app with a better experience), but I do care on desktop because that isn't a thing on my system (Linux).

I think it would've been better had they broken them into groups for mobile and desktop.

Desktop PWAs are easy as you can just create a shortcut

Nope. A PWA gives you a browser window with no menu bars and the icon of the age vs the browser. It's treated as a separate entity in your start bar for task switching.

Many of us still use Chromium for that one feature, while using Firefox for everything else.

You can do that with command line arguments

[–] fmstrat@lemmy.nowsci.com 2 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Not with FF. Well, not without massive CSS app customization and separate profiles which is not officially supported.

[–] possiblylinux127@lemmy.zip 1 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Yes you can. Try running Firefox --help

[–] fmstrat@lemmy.nowsci.com 1 points 3 months ago

No, you cannot. There have been tickets open about this for ages. You are talking about opening a URL, not a PWA.

[–] sugar_in_your_tea@sh.itjust.works 1 points 3 months ago

Yup. A lot of services don't offer official apps on Linux, so I rely on webpages.
