webapp-manager VS warpinator

I've noticed this too. 100% CPU usage, laptop temperature skyrockets and fans kick on whenever I'm on the ChatGPT website.

I believe I've found a solution. I'm on Linux Mint, I'm using Firefox. If I export chatGPT to a web app using Linux Mint's webapp-manager, the problem goes away. What's strange here is that this should be using same profile and version of Firefox as my actual browser. Maybe it's an extension causing an issue, but I only have ublock origin, tampermonkey, firefox translation which is an official addon, and multi-account container which is also an official addon.

Surprised no one mentioned Linux Mint's Webapp Manager:

Should be in more distros. Allows some basic tweaking of profiles and supports more than just Firefox (unfortunately not qutebrowser, though).

I can recommend webapp manager: https://github.com/linuxmint/webapp-manager

This program, as it runs in a browser tab, doesn't run exclusively on linux. Linux users, however, can play the game using Web App

You can see the implementation at: https://github.com/linuxmint/webapp-manager/blob/master/usr/lib/webapp-manager/common.py

This is something that I really struggled with some time ago, but I finally managed to solve. Try out WebApp Manager, it's a fork of ICE, a previous version which also worked. It takes care of everything, even the WM_CLASS attribute needed to associate different windows of each PWA together but separated from the browser window. This completely changed the way I use my PC, nowadays I have more PWAs opened that desktop programs.

Webapps are basically just shortcuts that launch the browser with no navigation bar - so it's possible to create them with something like https://github.com/linuxmint/webapp-manager

Warpinator

I don't know. After discovering PairDrop too, thanks to comments here, I've been testing it out to see if it could replace Warpinator [1] as a means to send files & directories between my PC and my Android phone when I'm at home.

First impression has been quite disappointing... I installed the PWA to my phone's home screen. Then opened up and paired with my PC as trusted device. Tried to send a PDF file from PC to phone, a dialog shows up with

File Received. PC has sent: file.pdf. Close/Download.

Upon clicking Download, Firefox (which is configured in Android as the default web browser) opens up, on the Homepage tab. Nothing else happens, and the file isn't downloaded. So I'm left pretty much confused about what should have happened vs. what did actually happen.

Good thing about Warpinator (and something I use a lot) is that you can enable accepting files without confirmation, and then you can drag & drop a whole folder to have it appear on the other device as-is. Something extremely useful but that I doubt web apps can achieve.

They have linked the unofficial version in their GitHub repo https://github.com/linuxmint/warpinator

You can then use Syncthing or Warpinator alongside it to sync them to other devices.

Other than those you mentioned, there is Warpinator. It works flawlessly for me. You need to create a hotspot manually if there is no internet.
