Working fine, makes going to a site like opening an app ;)

Why a dedicated URL shortcut maker when browsers do this already? Because my main browser, Firefox, has a bug that occasionally doesn't offer a homescreen shortcut for some sites. A setting to enable opening links with a browser other than the default would be nice. No dark theme. Consumes 400kb of storage, not 99kb as advertised.

This is a very handy app to have! Sometimes when I use "add to home screen," in my browser, the resulting link is to the site's homepage instead of the specific page or article I intended to save (which irritates me to no end). But with this Website Shortcut app, I can easily link to the page I want in about half a moment.
