The only thing I don’t like about Firefox (other than no PWA capability) is the ‘dark pattern’ of how when the home page loads, the first three of the six items shifts to the right after the page has started loading, and are replaced with sponsored links. So, if I go to click on YouTube when I launch Firefox, there’s a fair chance that by the time I get to click there it’ll suddenly jump over to the right and I’ll end up clicking some other link.

To me, that’s sketchy behaviour.

You can disable those ads though…

I don’t mind the ads. I just don’t like the ‘trickery’ of them shifting the existing shortcuts after the page has already loaded.

The only good ad is a dead ad

Check this one: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/pwas-for-firefox/ It doesn’t have super advanced capabilities of PWAs however the “pwa creators” already assume one is using Chrome etc.

Yes I’m using that. It’s fine if you only have one pc, but a pain having to set it up every time you set up another Linux install etc.

No PWA capability?

At least on mobile, I have multiple PWAs installed via Firefox.
