FTWA is an utility to free your web apps from their browser's frame. So you don't need to wait for Arc Browser on Linux to have great looking webapps!

FTWA uses the --app='https://app.example' parameter with Chromium-based browsers to launch a website in "app mode". Similar to kiosk-mode, this mode launches the website without the typical browser interface, such as tabs, the address bar, or navigation buttons, making the website look and feel more like a standalone application.

Previously the --ssb parameter (Site Specific Browser) provided similar behavior as --app in chrome, but it was discontinued in 2021. FTWA create a new firefox profile with custom CSS and settings, inspired by this reddit comment.

Currently this will only work if you have a chromium browser installed. If you're not using google-chrome make sure to either edit the .desktop file to point to your executable, or make /usr/bin/google-chrome an alias to your chromium browser.
