IMO most underrated browser feature is "Create shortcut" on Chromium. It can make any website to app-style window and create shortcut, so it can be pinned to Windows taskbar. So it can virtually replace some Electron apps to just a window for web version, so we can save system resources used by each Electron Chromium instances. It's also useful that shares browser profile, and extensions like ad blocker and password manager. Sadly Firefox truncated similar feature. It's deal breaker for me. https://superuser.com/questions/468580/create-application-shortcut-chromes-feature-in-firefox https://superuser.com/questions/468580/create-application-sh... I wish more Chrome users use this to avoid the feature removed.

Agreed - this allows me to run WhatsApp on Linux (as much as I don't want to, everyone I need to interact with is using it) in a chromium window like an app.

i was using a think called ICE SSB with firefox 2 years ago but when i updated linux/pop os it stopped working. i think it was made by the crowd who make peppermint os anyway, as i was searching for that i came across this article. i just skimmed it but it seems like feature might be coming back? https://www.maketecheasier.com/enable-site-specific-browser-firefox/ https://www.maketecheasier.com/enable-site-specific-browser-... i think the ICE SSB thing is better though. it lets you add a custom icon and you can search/launch them along with your other desktop apps
