Or Nativefier (which uses electron) but with a nice GUI.

Nativefier was great. I recall that project struggling at the end really needing funding.

Oh no I didn’t realize it had ended! Maybe someone else will pick it back up.

It’s Prism still around? I used it back in the day but I thought it had been discontinued.

Nah, it is disconinued since many years, I thought it was kinda neat at first, but realized it would be faster to just use the full firefox browser instead.

Do you mean Webrunner, or Chromeless?

Remember Firefox’s SSB that got removed before anyone knew about it since no one was using it, since it was behind a about:config flag, that users didn’t know about so they didn’t use it so Fx removed it? Weird-ass circular logic from Mozilla. I would have loved that PWA feature.

Currently I’m using ungoogled-chromium on Linux just for PWA because of this decision made by Mozilla 😔

Well don’t, use Mint’s Web Apps application, instead.

Which allows you to freely choose any of your installed browsers, the menu category to place it under, the icon and any optional extra parameters.

It’s actually amazing, I use this to separate logins and addons for online services I use often!

So… does it block Ads ?

Doesn’t appear to.

But looks like even GNOME Web supports extensions now. So no reason that something like uBlock origin couldn’t be implemented right?

Adblocking is built in.

When I last tried it (around the time that article was posted, could’ve improved since), you needed to mess with gconf to enable the feature, which was for good reason because the compatibility was abysmal (ublock origin did not work and neither did dark reader or violentmonkey or really any extension I wanted to use).

IIRC extensions are sadly not a part of stable Gnome Web yet.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word “Linux” in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.
