# FAQ
## What browsers are supported?
Internet Explorer 11, Chrome [1], Firefox [1] (not in a private window), Safari (have not tested in 12 and below) and any mobile versions of these. It will probably also work on any derivatives of these.
1: Because of https://github.com/vector-im/hydrogen-web/issues/230, only [more recent versions](https://caniuse.com/mdn-javascript_operators_optional_chaining) are supported.
TorBrowser ships a crippled IndexedDB implementation and will not work. At some point we should support a memory store as a fallback, but that will still give a sub-par experience with e2ee.
It used work in pre-webkit Edge, to have it work on Windows Phone, but that support has probably bit-rotted as it isn't tested anymore.
## Is there a way to run the app as a desktop app?
You can install Hydrogen as a PWA using Chrome/Chromium on any platform or Edge on Windows. Gnome Web/Ephiphany also allows to "Install site as web application". There is no Electron build of Hydrogen, and there will likely be none in the near future, as Electron complicates the release process considerably. Once Hydrogen is more mature and feature complete, we might reconsider and use [Tauri](https://tauri.studio) if there are compelling use cases not possible with PWAs. For now though, we want to keep development and releasing fast and nimble ;)
