For MacOS .. Tip: How To Use Any Website Like an App (1 Viewer)

Neat way of keep MotorhomeFun, or any other frequently used website in the dock,
it works like an app without the browser.

My complaint is that when you do that with MHF, you can open multiple tabs from the What’s New. You have to read one thread, then return to What’s New, and pick another thread. Makes it very painful if you’ve read past the first page of new threads.

When browsing normally you wouldn’t open a new tab for each thread you would use the browser back button. In the App you are not in a browser so have no back button. However we built one in to our PWA.

So don’t open new tabs, look for the blue back arrow that appears just at the right time and click that instead

I do open a new tab actually, I like to pick out all the threads I want to read on the first page of What’s new, and then move on to the second page. Fewer clicks - averaging closer to one per thread than two. But I’ll look for that back arrow if I try that way again.

I think Jim was thinking of the phone app when he posted.. there is no blue arrow on the app for the MacBook

Just to clarify .. this tip is of MacBook Air and MacBook Pro .. . ... ..not phones

The back arrow is only on the phone app , I think Jim was thinking of the phone app when he posted

I just followed the instructions, but could not find the blue arrow, so began to think that perhaps Jim was referring to the phone app.

Thanks for the initial heads up and info on this, it is a feature I knew nothing about!
