Web Apps - Similar to Linux Mint Web App Manager

Does Zorin natively support web apps yet, similar to Linux Mint Web App Manger? If not, can you install the Linux Mint Web App Manger on Zorin? If so, does it work well? Last time I tried something similar the navigation did not work ver well. Anyone else actively using this? Does it work well?

There's a couple ways you can install it. This link here shows how you can manually install it (for 20.04, but it could just be updated for 22.04) or option 2 shows the ppa method (for 20.04, 22.04 and 24.04).

There are other web app managers available as well, but this is explicitly just for Linux Mint's stuff (which to be fair, I totally forgot they had a web app manager now).

What are you favorite web app managers?

You can find in the Software Store some Programs for Web Apps:

And it looks like Firefox will include a Web App Function in the Future, too. I've read that in the Firefox Nightly Builts a Function is built-in but You have to activate it. So, it isn't really a practical Thing for now.

Back when I was using Peppermint I would use Ice - SSB manager, but I'm not sure if it's maintained anymore or not. It appears as though its been years since it was updated, so I'd wager it's not getting support anymore.

I've tried Spider as @Ponce-De-Leon showed above, and it was alright, but I didn't spend a whole lot of time test driving it that much.

Chrome-based browsers support Progressive Web Apps (PWA). I have Vivaldi installed - Vivaldi provides instructions on how to create & delete PWAs.
