Comment on Why Bother With uBlock Being Blocked In Chrome? Now Is The Best Time To Switch To Firefox
qaz@lemmy.world 10 months agoI thought PWA’s didn’t work on Firefox. That’s good to know, because I’ve been using chromium specifically for PWA’s.

Same here, I tried the PWAsForFirefox extension a few years back and found the setup to be too much of a pain in the ass compared to the Chromium forks. I tried again around 9-12 months ago when Manifest V3 drama was making the rounds and found the extension had been overhauled and that’s no longer a problem. As a bonus each PWA is a self-contained browser instance, so performance is improved when only the PWA is open, and extensions are per-PWA. So I can run only Purple Adblock on my Twitch PWA, or only uBlock for Youtube, etc.

I’m using them heavily as well. Mostly good. Painful though when moving between computers as you have to set them up on each one. If they can get it to sync eventually that’d be handy.

What PWA do you use? I think they’re a neat idea but I haven’t come up with an actual use case yet.

I just use it for any tab which I always have open, so they’re organised on my taskbar. That way I don’t end up with 40 tabs of like 5 different websites that I just pathologically open up a new tab for, having to scan through them all each time I switch to find the one I wanted. That’s an ADHD thing though

Gmail x2. Pulse SMS. Keep. Calendar. Whatsapp, Facebook, Messenger. All as task bar icons.
I used to use Chrome for this but every now and then it’d break and they would either open in the wrong profile, or they’d add a tab to the main browser rather than opening as a window.

Any idea how to get links clicked in a PWA like Google Messages to open in a normal browser tab? I’ve tried nothing.

Go to the PWA settings and enable “Open out-of-scope URLs in a default browser” and restart your PWAs.
