Um am I not understanding what "Web App" means?
"A web application (or web app) is application software that is accessed using a web browser. Web applications are delivered on the World Wide Web to users with an active network connection."

- thx-2718 3y agoAm I missing something there? Appears a browser is still required. i.e. at the moment these don't work with Firefox.
- breckenedge 3y agoYea a browser is required and is provided by whatever browser was used to install the app. So if you “install” the PWA with Chrome, then Chrome is used to open it. On Mac/Safari 17+, it looks like it’s provided by Web App.app, which is probably just a wrapper for Safari. A separate browser install is not required. It works in Firefox, not sure why Wikipedia has that wrong.
