The user interface and features is awesome, but I think it suffers from being a PWA in smoothness, this one can't compare against Summit for Lemmy for example.

I've heard of a lot of complaints on smoothness which is interesting to me. I use Voyager because it's the smoothest and fastest experience. All of the dedicated apps for me are occasionally laggy, glitchy, and slow, no matter which I try, but Voyager is like butter.
So I'm curious...what OS and browser are you on where it gets laggy and glitchy? I'm on Android using Brave browser and it's damn near perfect.
I use Chrome and well, yeah maybe lack of smoothness isn't the right term, this app is incredible and keeps improving each update (for instance I think is way smoother in latest update lol), but go and try Summit for Lemmy, maybe you'll understand what do I mean about "smooth as a stock app"
I normally use Firefox but I've found chromium (Brave) to be smoother
But then the links don't open in Firefox, which is a dealbreaker for me
Itβs definitely good. But not as smooth as other native apps. Again Iβm happy with this.
would it matter on ios which browser you used to add voyager to the home screen? like does voyager launch/run differently from firefox vs safari etc?
I'm on android, so it is possible for there to be a difference here, but on iOS every browser uses safari for its webview, so there is absolutely no difference if you use Firefox or safari or chrome.
