I use both Firefox and Opera on my Android phone, the PWA shortcuts from both of these browsers always disappear sooner or late from my home screen. Any alternative or fix for my problem?

Edit: I use Poco F3 with Android 11, MIUI 12.5.8, and Lawnchair launcher. Auto-update my browsers.

Disappearing icons is a bug with your launcher, nothing to do with the actual browser you're using.

If you're looking for a browser that was specifically designed for web apps, check out Hermit. (Disclaimer: I'm the author).

Wow, I just checked the webpage. It's the browser I never knew I needed.

Even if this doesn't solve my problem I'm really intrigued with it, especially the sandbox feature. Will try it out for sure, downloading now.
