You can install this website on all your web capable devises. A Progressive Web App (PWA) can be installed as you would a “native” app from Google Play or the iTunes Store. The website will load MUCH faster, and much of it will work offline or on bad connections. PWAs work best with Chrome but are also supported by Firefox, Edge (the latest Chromium based version) and Safari.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In 2022, installation is possible on desktops and laptops. You must be using a modern browser. Here is a detailed, updated list of browser capabilities<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n
