I was a die hard Firefox fan since it was Netscape navigator. But their refusal to adopt PWAs will always keep me one foot in edge/chrome.

I’ve been flirting a bit with Opera GX because of the sidebar, hard ram/cpu limits, and “my flow” feature. super handy when you’re moving between max and windows all day. But it also doesn’t do PWAs so that’s still super annoying.

On Mac I really do like safari. But they don’t have it for windows so I guess I’m just doomed to use multiple browsers.

What do you mean? Just install the plug-in PWAs for Firefox. I have a Firefox based WhatsApp PWA that runs separate from my main Firefox process. It launches on its own and uses the WhatsApp icon on the taskbar. (I was having so many issues with the official WhatsApp app).

It does have a dependency on a package you’ll have to install outside of FF but you can install it using Chocolatey so it’s pretty quick and easy.

I would definitely not trust Opera due to its Chinese owners.
