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

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

With all those comments saying it worked for them I want to say that for me as well, using chrome is significantly faster than Firefox on Android. Firefox is laggy and slow, while on chrome it works perfectly fine

I’m on mull browser which I think is basically Firefox and haven’t had a problem.

Yes for me, Brave works significantly better than Firefox for installed app. I also tried ungoogled chromium, and that seems quite buggy.
