I know there are workarounds I can use like nativefier but it&#x27;s still not as smooth as a desktop app.<p>Running in the browser:<p>- Gets grouped with my other browser windows in my taskbar, making it hard to find<p>- Notifications might or might not work, depending on firefox&#x27;s whims<p>- If for any reason firefox crashes all your communication crashes with it<p>- Susceptible to every single browser bug that allows silent loading of extensions that scrape all your data
