Yall can just

  • create a empty chrome profile
  • install the hoppscotch browser extension
  • install hoppscotch.io as an app (top right of the url bar)

Works great for me, aside from the title in the titlebar maybe

@laneme that could work too, but not all of us wants to use browser extensions for testing API endpoints.
I feel better opening an app dedicated to that instead of a browser and the extension.
