I just heard that #Firefox will remove the SSB (Site Specific Browser) feature in the upcoming release planned in 3 days.

That's so unfortunate.. It was really a useful feature on the #Pinephone.

@lowkeylone Yeah. Well, it was not super useful as you had to do some legwork to get this to work, but ... it's just another annoying decision by Mozilla. It's almost as if they don't want people to use Firefox.

@linmob Yes some legwork was needed but in the end it was pretty convenient.

I was trying to use this feature to create a launcher for the Bitwarden extension, it would have been so great if it would have work.

@lowkeylone Yeah, I am going to miss hydrogen.element.io!

Just use KeePass instead of Bitwarden, GNOME PasswordSafe works great!

@linmob @lowkeylone I'm using Hydrogen as Epiphany's web app as my primary mobile Matrix client right now and it works pretty well.

@dos In my experience Epiphany is unusable slow on the Pinephone because it's not hw accelerated 🤔

@gamey Ah, I'm using the Librem 5 and acceleration works fine there. It's not as snappy as Firefox is, but it's snappy enough for Hydrogen ;)

@gamey You can use Angelfish web browser. Runs pretty well because it uses QT's GPU acceleration, and it also supports creating web apps.

@BrianA Maybe it's Phosh or just the Angelfish package on Arch (which is one of the few decently workig ones i found) but I can't get PWAs to work with it. Still a great browser i can recommend tho and even almost as smooth as Firefox in my experience :D

@gamey Did you try the latest update of it? I flagged it out of date about a week ago and the maintainer updated the package.

@BrianA It could be a issue on my site but it doesn't seem to work on my device at all. I use the "plasma-angelfish-git" AUR package and up to date DanctNIX Arch btw 🤷

@dos @linmob Idk if there is something I can do about it but browsing the web with Epiphany is staring at a grey screen on most websites.
And unfortunately this issue is present for Hydrogen.
