Do you know any websites that integrate into Linux desktop and Android like native apps? I mean I can run it from cmd/icon, and it opens as new window without any decorations? I never saw it but if it's works fine it's an interesting option.
Those are called Progressive Web Apps (PWA). You can use firefox to add the website to your desktop like this: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/Progressive_web_apps/Guides/Installing
Once you do, when you open the app it should have just the website without the tabs and everything else firefox does.
And the extension requires a package from a 3rd party repo. Probably that's why I missed it until now. It works nice on Android though. Maybe I should do a PWA... But it's like... learn new tools, host it somewhere... I will think about it. Thanks!
