Web Launcher Feature
Hello I am very satisfied of the 1Password solution that I use for many years. One thing, I think that is missing from my point of view is a kind of web launcher or a better integration with the web ...

Finally, I found a very satisfying solution by using Chrome to launch my web applications as applications on MacOS. In Chrome, when you are on your web application on Chrome, you click on 3dots > Cast, Save and Share > Install page as app and then type a name for your app. Then a new app will be created in the launchPad. This new app will be launch in a separated window like any app installed on your laptop. Of course, this has nothing to do with integrating this to 1P but I like the way you can define and quickly use your web app or your app from the LaunchPad. I am working to a way to integrate both the 1P definitions and the Chrome Web App into one definition using CLI.

smartboy I never ever thought about launching websites from within 1Password. That's not what 1Password is made for. In all my internet life, I have only used the browser bookmark functionality.
I also use just one browser (Chrome), because keeping customizations synchronized across browsers is tedious and there's no point in that. I have an alternate browser installed (Firefox), but this is only a fallback when some webpage doesn't work with Chrome. However, in the last years I didn't encounter any website that works with Firefox but not with Chrome. But just in case.
Organizing within 1Password is a completely different thing (mentally, for me) than organizing browser bookmarks. The vast amount of websites don't need a login, so they would never be in 1Password. And there are items in 1Password that don't refer to a browser login. And there are different organizing criteria for 1Password than for browser bookmark library.
The launcher you're searching for is probably the browser start page for me. The synchronization between browser and 1Password is the browser plugin, which pops up for autofill assist whenever a login or a password change is detected. That's just the right amount of integration between both.
