I enjoy Voyager but I always thought is was slow and overall unresponsive. Turns out that when installed as a web app it's much more quicker and a better experience. Firefox is my default browser and the install option doesn't seem to work properly (or at all?)

To install Voyager as a web app on your android phone if Firefox is your default browser (or any other brower other than Chrome), simply go to the voyager link using Chrome and then install it from the menu.

The difference is night and day

I'm pretty sure this just adds it to your home screen without installing it.

That is most of what "installing" it does. I've installed it using Firefox Android and the main difference is that in the task switcher it's its own tasks rather than just being a tab in the browser.
