I've been thinking of switching over to Voyager, but I heard that Voyager was built on elements from Chrome. As a layman what does this mean? - eviltoast

Is using Voyager giving Chrome an opportunity to harvest user data? I’ll take whatever you know about the Voyager dependence on chrome.

    Yes but also your phone gives you the ability to “install” a web app as if it was a normal app. Go into the voyager settings and follow the instructions to do this. Basically what your phone is doing is saving a bookmark to the web app with an icon, but when it runs, it has the feel of an app instead of a website because it doesn’t open up the full browser with the url bar and all that other browsery stuff.
