Anyone know the status of being able to install PWAs on the desktop?
The reason I use chrome apps is to have "Gmail" as an application on my desktop so I can alt-tab to it, put it on my dock, etc and treat it as a normal app instead of a tab.
- joshuacc 7y agoThe new MS Edge supports this.
- maxhille 7y ago"add to desktop" option has been available for a couple of years now I think.
- Stratoscope 7y agoIn Chrome, open the page you want, then on the Chrome menu select More Tools / Create Shortcut... Give it a name and check "Open as window". Now you have a shortcut you can use like any other application shortcut. (I've only tried this on Windows and Linux, but it should work on macOS too.)
- ericabiz 7y agoIf you are a Windows or Mac user, third-party apps like Kiwi for Gmail support this functionality (plus support multiple accounts.)
- outworlder 7y agoJust make a simple bash script that goes: open -n /Applications/Google\ Chrome.app --args --app="https://gmail.com" https://gmail.com" Add shortcuts to that.
