Only reason I use Chromium is PWAs (Web Apps). Which is why I made an extension that opens links from Chromium in Firefox.
Got Slack running in your work profile on Chromium? Opens links in Firefox work profile.
I should probably release this.
Same here. I have to trust/use an extension and third party desktop application (Progressive Web Apps for Firefox) to get this feature to work and not have to rely on Chrome/Edge/etc.
I can easily see less patient or understanding users dropping Firefox if they find out it doesn't work with Progressive Web Apps.
My problem with that extension is the separate profile requirement (so new links can't open in a specific profile), and some things (like Slack) don't fully work outside Chromium.
My solution works like this:
localhostThe extension is set to skip this process if the base URL is the same as the current site (Slack.com/google.com/etc).
