I enjoy Voyager but I always thought is was slow and overall unresponsive. Turns out that when installed as a web app it’s much more quicker and a better experience. Firefox is my default browser and the install option doesn’t seem to work properly (or at all?)
To install Voyager as a web app on your android phone if Firefox is your default browser (or any other brower other than Chrome), simply go to the voyager link using Chrome and then install it from the menu.
The difference is night and day
That’s odd. I just went straight to the menu in Firefox and hit install, no problems and it’s my default browser.
I’m pretty sure this just adds it to your home screen without installing it.
That is most of what “installing” it does. I’ve installed it using Firefox Android and the main difference is that in the task switcher it’s its own tasks rather than just being a tab in the browser.
That’s weird, I’m self hosting wefwef and using Firefox as my default web browser, I had no trouble with the install button.
I don’t see any problem with Mull browser, I can install Voyager and use it 🤔
I want to do this, but is there any way to have links open in Firefox instead of Chrome? I don’t want to use Chrome for links, only for Voyager
I’m on mull browser which I think is basically Firefox and haven’t had a problem.
I use both Firefox Beta & Firefox Nightly daily for Voyager (depending on the device) and both have worked great for me. I just tested Stable and it was similarly fine.
Obviously if folks are having performance issues it’s reasonable to test out other browsers (Chrome included), but I’ve never noticed any issues.
