Web App Alternative on OpenSuse (feddit.org)

I recently switched to OpenSuse Slowroll on my desktop, while my laptop is still running Mint.

What I really miss is the Web App Manager on Linux Mint that allows you to install websites as an app on the desktop. I liked to use it especially for streaming services, because I usually clear all browser data, when I close it. So the Web App was a good option to have a single site with permanent cookies to avoid logging in after ever restart. And having this separated from the normal browser was also nice.

So I wonder, if there is a similar option for OpenSuse or some other workaround I am missing.

Mint's web app thingy is available as a Debian package only, but you can find some alternatives to it on Flathub. You gotta setup flatpak first if you haven't

Should work with distrobox as well right? I've been loving distrobox, I've been running bluefin

Thanks for the suggestion. Do you have any experience with one of those options?

I remember trying Spider and it worked pretty nicely, but not like it matters much since they're all mostly similar I think
