Google Chrome to Allow Installing Websites as Desktop Apps
- Google Chrome will soon allow users to install any webpage as a desktop app, similar to Safari's functionality in macOS
- The "Install page as app" option will appear in Chrome's settings menu and invokes a prompt to install the web app
- Chrome's web apps implementation is more advanced than Safari's, providing a simplified toolbar, settings menu, and more
- The feature relies on Chrome's existing support for Progressive Web Apps (PWAs)
- Users can try out the feature early by enabling two flags in the latest Chrome Canary build
