Neat project, but it appears to be using (L)GPL code in a bunch of places while being licensed under MIT. That's a big no-no.
Too bad it's built on Chrome webview, so no adblocking.
Can you help me understand the purpose of this? Usually I want PWAs running in my preferred browser.
I prefer to have PWAs not in my preferred browser and others would as well.
Okay, but why?
For some web apps, I want it to look and behave like an "app", without the clutter of the extra menus that a browser has.
For others, I want it to have the protections and capabilities (ex. adblocking and extensions) that the browser has

That's exactly what a normal PWA does. It's not what this app does, it adds menus on top of your PWA.

That's also what a normal PWA does.
It might be that this one can take non-PWA websites and make them behave like proper PWAs?
