gollark: Well, if you only have one extra browser engine per system, it's totally fine.
gollark: Alternatively this sort of thing: https://crates.io/crates/web_view (praise rust)
gollark: osmarks.tk actually works as a PWA, so you can add it to your homescreen.
gollark: I mean, I could automatically try all letters, then all words.
gollark: > There's a way to create some kind of webapp (ie. an executable that opens the browser in a popup-like styling with just the website, in some browsers even with custom window icon etc) but it's well hidden and only for powerusers.PWAs. Those are NOT VERY HIDDEN on mobile platforms.
