All I get from polycentric.io is "Please add Polycentric to your home screen" (Android browsers call it installing) - even after I added it to my home screen (Firefox on Android). Works on Chrome though.

Both current Firefox for Android and Safari 17 (Beta) have a bug where display-mode: standalone doesn’t return true when running standalone, that’s probably what’s broken.

Perhaps a safer way is to use a different url (parameter) for the standalone mode.

It somewhat works if you tell Firefox to get Desktop Site...

But they also broke the back button
