Installing a PWA on Firefox for Android adds the icon to the homescreen with a tiny Firefox icon at the bottom. The look and feel is Android, there's no obvious bits that would look either Firefox or Chrome.

https://web.dev/learn/pwa/tools-and-debug#using_physical_dev... at "Firefox Remote Debugging" says there's a way to debug Firefox for Android PWAs.

So I'm fairly sure the PWA is running using Firefox for Android.

I also never accepted the terms and conditions for Chrome on this phone.

The look and feel of the app itself is a CSS issue. There are web app frameworks that specifically offer themes matching style guides provided by Apple and Google. Framework7 is an example: the demo app on the home page is styled using iOS UI elements, and there is an option for more Android style designs as well.

I wouldn’t say that demo is very convincing…
