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

    You could try Hermit! It’s literally a way to make “lite apps,” as it calls them. I use it myself and freaking love it.

    Thing is, I don’t believe it’s FOSS. 😕

    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 can’t comment on that, but it’s definitely something to look into if you have the time/desire to know exactly how/how much things are isolated. 👍
