PWAs on Android? (lemmy.world)

Is there a way to install web apps on mobile using Firefox? I'm not looking for shortcuts that open in new browser tabs. I would like to run some sites as installed, full-screen apps. The excellent PWA addon works great for desktop, but I imagine it would not be possible to duplicate this on mobile based on how the addon runs.

Any thoughts? I'm open to using another app or browser that is built on Firefox if needed

Yep sites like annas archive have it. But honestly not many sites have this available

I'm looking at alexandrite for lemmy. But it would be much more useful to me as a standalone app. That 's how I use it on desktop as a pwa
