I like the idea and execution. Is good spread the PWA feature of the web to battle the duopoly of native app stores, even if PWA has their disadvantages.

Feedback: I'm browsing the site on Firefox desktop, sadly it doesn't support install PWA yet. You may want to add some banner for Firefox users alerting about that.

That's great feedback. It is indeed unfortunate that Firefox has shied away from supporting modern browser features. We will be showing relevant feedback based on your browser when you launch an app - is that sufficient for you? Seems like that's the right CTA to advice a user to switch browsers, but curious if you think it's imperative to have this info at the beginning of your discovery journey.
That seems ok! Not sure about encourage the user to switch, but maybe mention that in x browsers works.

Also have in mind that on Firefox mobile app, PWAs _have_ install capabilities, so the alert should _only_ be targeted to Firefox desktop.

FWIW, Firefox had PWA support on desktop and removed it.
Really unfortunate, the only reason I switched back to chrome.
