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?

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

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).

What browser engine does it use? And what happens if links are clicked? Can we specify which browser and profile is opened?

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!

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.

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.
