I enjoy Voyager but I always thought is was slow and overall unresponsive. Turns out that when installed as a web app it's much more quicker and a better experience. Firefox is my default browser and the install option doesn't seem to work properly (or at all?)

To install Voyager as a web app on your android phone if Firefox is your default browser (or any other brower other than Chrome), simply go to the voyager link using Chrome and then install it from the menu.

The difference is night and day

Interesting. I just tested it in Fennec, and it will create an icon on the home screen--but when pressed it opens a TAB in Fennec--that's not the same thing, is it?

[edit] In Kiwi browser, it opens properly--ie, as it would as an app.
