Is using Voyager giving Chrome an opportunity to harvest user data? I'll take whatever you know about the Voyager dependence on chrome.

It's a webapp. If you're uncomfortable with Chrome, run it with Firefox.

Ok I think I understand. You just go to vger.app whenever you want to use Voyager then.

Yes but also your phone gives you the ability to “install” a web app as if it was a normal app. Go into the voyager settings and follow the instructions to do this. Basically what your phone is doing is saving a bookmark to the web app with an icon, but when it runs, it has the feel of an app instead of a website because it doesn’t open up the full browser with the url bar and all that other browsery stuff.

That's right. Sorry, if I'd been thinking I would have included the URL.

I hope you enjoy the (web)app!
