The german translation was absolutely strange.

Belgium, Switzerland, Austria not choosable??

"Convert Important Websites like GMail into Apps?" Why this weird example?

In some categories all were more important than the points in otger categories

One choice I got was "halving the speed of the browser".

I got that one too. Either a way to test if users are paying attention or, or... I don't know. Mistranslation? It was a bullshit option. Insulting, even.

Me too! I have no idea what that was supposed to mean but clicked "highest priority" just for the lolz

That was a feature they removed.

Some WebApps are only available as websites and don't have a native counterpart.

I'd personally like this feature to come back so I can use those WebApps without having to have other browser-things clutter the UI (like multiple tabs, url bar, etc.) and aren't needed when you only want to open one webapp.

Yes I know about PWAs and I am a big supporter. I even experimented with some userchrome.css to emulate a webapp experience, tried the older extension and webapp manager, and the newer "Quick Webapps" by elevenhsoft, and the experience is not really nice.

Used Element web as a Chromium webapp and while not perfect (for example no way to open links with the OS default browser) it is really good.

I just found it odd for Firefox to use GMail as an example, as people using GMail would probably also use Chrome.

Probably talking about PWAs, I imagine.
