Features & Capabilities

Web App Maker Chrome Extension

Web App Maker transforms your browsing experience by allowing you to open websites in windows free from browser decorations. With just a click, you can pop out the current tab or create a web app link to launch sites like Spotify or Element in a sleek, app-like environment. This extension mimics the feel of Progressive Web Apps (PWA) or Site Specific Browsers (SSB) by leveraging Firefox's popup window API to remove traditional browser UI elements.

Key features include:

Pop out any tab into a clean, undecorated window.
Generate unique web app links tailored to your browser instance.
Easily create bookmarks or shortcuts that open sites in PWA-style windows.
Enhances workflow by providing distraction-free browsing tailored to specific web apps.

Please note, the generated web app links are specific to your browser instance and will become invalid if the extension is uninstalled or reinstalled.

It works but the main functionality I want is the ability to pin an app to my taskbar at the bottom of my screen so I don't even have to open firefox to open the web app, the fact that this cannot be done completely defeats the purpose of this extension to me. the web app just opens as a separate firefox window and not really as a separate app like on google chrome

I love this app. I hope it was a bit more user friendly. It's hidden under extension icon tab. I wish the window that pop up was not so large and I could specify the window size. I also wish I could create a desktop icon for the website I use always. Right now I have to click on extension icon, then go to the tab of the website app I want to launch, then click on the Web App Maker. So 3 clicks to get to the app. I wish I had a desktop icon for particular app or have a bookmark in a tool bar for the site I always use and it just pops up, that would be great.

Is Web App Maker Safe?

Risk impact

Risk impact measures the level of extra permissions an extension has access to. A low risk impact extension cannot do much harms, whereas a high risk impact extension can do a lot of damage like stealing your password, bypassing your security settings, and accessing your personal data. High risk impact extensions are not necessarily malicious. However, if they do turn malicious, they can be very harmful.

Web App Maker requires some sensitive permissions that could impact your browser and data security. Exercise caution before installing.

Risk likelihood

Risk likelihood measures the probability that a Firefox add-on may turn malicious. This is determined by the publisher and the Firefox add-on reputation on Firefox Add-ons Store, the amount of time the Firefox add-on has been around, and other signals about the Firefox add-on. Our algorithms are not perfect, and are subject to change as we discover new ways to detect malicious extensions. We recommend that you always exercise caution when installing a Firefox add-on.

Web App Maker is probably trust-worthy. Prefer other publishers if available. Exercise caution when installing this add-on.
