PWAs on Android? (lemmy.world)

Is there a way to install web apps on mobile using Firefox? I'm not looking for shortcuts that open in new browser tabs. I would like to run some sites as installed, full-screen apps. The excellent PWA addon works great for desktop, but I imagine it would not be possible to duplicate this on mobile based on how the addon runs.

Any thoughts? I'm open to using another app or browser that is built on Firefox if needed

websites that properly support it will show as "Install" instead

This needs to be a top comment, not a lot of people are aware that the option changes if the site has been developed specifically as a PWA

Specifically is a good word. It's 10 lines https://magenest.com/en/turn-website-into-pwa/
