Rules:

spoiler0. Use common sense.

  1. No distribution of APKs from unknown sources or direct downloads. You are only allowed to share from GitHub (no direct links, repo only), Play Store, F-Droid, or Aurora Store.
  2. No piracy. This includes hacking, cracking in-app purchases or bypassing forms of DRM. YouTube (Music) Vanced are allowed exceptions to this.
  3. No rooting apps allowed. This also includes hacking software or tools.
  4. No apps that require root to function. This also includes Magisk and Magisk-related software. However: If the app features extra functionality that is available if you are rooted, but it is not required to use the app it is then okay. I.e. YouTube Vanced does not require root, but it features stuff that works only with root.
  5. No software that requires ADB or patching system files. Exceptions are well-known debloaters such as UAD and other manually approved stuff. Otherwise, ADB is not a user-friendly or safe tool and discourage its usage here.

These rules are subject to change at any point in time with or without user notice.

Hi there, I'm looking for a Browser that lets me open it multiple times in multiple instances (each showing up in multitasking), a Browser limited to lets say wikipedia, one that's limited to imdb, one for lemmy etc.
And if I hit a link from Wikipedia to Wikipedia in the Wikipedia browser it should open in the same instance.
But if I open a Link to something else, it should open in a different instance (or a single general one)

I'd also like each of them to have an individual home screen button.

Is there something like that?

I remember long back using Hermit for this, not sure about opening links though

Thank you, I'll have a look.
In the meantime I've found Native Alpha, which was a start as well, but it can't open up tabs when I stay on the same Host, but I can make web-Apps a bit more like installed apps, and is open source, which I always prefer

But I haven't had time to dig through settings yet, mayyybe it can do what I want, I still have a tiny bit of hope left.

That's exactly how opening links works in Hermit.

You can also have multiple Lite Apps for the same URL, and also (optionally) have them be completely sandboxed from each other.

Hermit is fairly good for this.
