Is there a Browser which can install PWAs and open links from the PWA in other/default Browser?

I use Firefox and it does exactly that.

It indeed works, but Firefox and derivatives are really slow on my phone :x

[–] Spendies@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I just tested it in Firefox and it opens links in Firefox even though Chrome is my default browser.

[–] 03040@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

In settings there is "open links in apps". If you change this links are indeed open in the default browser

[–] Spendies@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

Aha, I must have missed that.

Samsung internet, I installed wefwef.app with it.

[–] d3Xt3r@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

How? I'm using Samsung Internet and wefwef, I don't get the install as an app icon that normally appears in the address bar - nothing in that menu either.

[–] kioshi@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

There's an arrow next to the site name that installs it Or you can, inside wefwef, click on settings and install app

I use the Kiwi Browser for that. Open source browser with addon support. Is Chromium-based tho.

PWAs don't work correctly in non-Chromium browsers. Firefox does not officially support them.

[–] 03040@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

But Kiwi doesn't open links from PWAs in default Browser, so no solution for me

[–] carbotect@vlemmy.net 2 points 1 year ago

That is the case for every PWA from every browser afaik.

Both Firefox and Kiwi PWA seem go ignore your default browser selection

[–] Zathras@lemm.ee 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Just checked on the Chrome PWA. It looks like links open in Chrome even though my default browser is DuckDuckGo.

[–] 03040@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

On Firefox it works if you change the settings, but unfortunately i don't know any Chromium browser with that feature.
