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 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.
