Hm, that is something different. The desktop file contains: Exec=xdg-open http://localhost:9090 That's not what we want here, since it would open as one new tab in the main browser window, using the default web browser. I think it's the best we can do without making any changes in GNOME Software or Epiphany, but it breaks our application model [1] (e.g. "Do not affect or interfere with the behavior of other applications."). In contrast, a GNOME web app functions as a separate application. If you have GNOME Software installed, you have a few hidden in ~/.local/share/applications that look like this: Exec=epiphany --application-mode - -profile="/home/mcatanzaro/.config/epiphany/app-epiphany -askfedora.desktop-0ff313329d0570e2d3e8b7d673488063ea6c1183" https://ask.fedoraproject.org We have hardcoded assumptions in Epiphany that the app is just a desktop file installed in your home directory. We would need to upgrade the interface for removing web apps to detect if it is installed in a system package, and if so hand off the job of removal to GNOME Software.
