Only recognizing Firefox

[LIlaUraraka]

So, I use Nobara Linux, which has this pre installed, but I don't use Firefox, but the web app manager will only let me create web apps using Firefox, not Vivaldi or Brave.

Vivaldi is unsupported, you can try a PR to add support to it.

Brave is supported, as long it is installed as a system package, and on one of these paths:

• /usr/bin/brave
• /usr/bin/brave-browser
• /usr/bin/brave-bin

Reference:

webapp-manager/usr/lib/webapp-manager/common.py

Lines 183 to 185 in 1418210

	Browser(BROWSER_TYPE_CHROMIUM, "Brave", "brave", "/usr/bin/brave"),
	Browser(BROWSER_TYPE_CHROMIUM, "Brave Browser", "brave-browser", "/usr/bin/brave-browser"),
	Browser(BROWSER_TYPE_CHROMIUM, "Brave (Bin)", "brave-bin", "/usr/bin/brave-bin"),

If you installed Brave as a flatpak, or from a tarball on a different location, then webapp-manager won't be able to find it.

Exactly. I'm using Floorp (fork of Firefox), but WebApp only seems to work with Firefox!?

[rodrigopedra]

Exactly.

It only works with browsers that someone contributed code to add them to the supported list I linked above.

And there is plenty of them, apart from firefox. It is just impossible for the devs to think, and test, in advance of all available browsers and forks.

If your favorite browser is missing, try contributing to the project sending a pull request to add it.

It will help yourself and potentially others =)
