    WebCatalog has the same functionality as Fluid, but with more. WebCatalog has many pre-configured sites to make into apps and makes them into Electron apps which have more functionality than your general web browser will have.

    TLDR: its developers recommend using the browsers own feature (save as an app in Chromium, Firefox has that too though I don't know the feature's name). It's safer for security as they're constantly updated.
