Ever wished your favorite websites had their own desktop apps? Well, Chrome‘s got you covered with a cool new feature in Chrome Canary (the experimental version). Say hello to turning any website into a desktop app with just one click!
These nifty apps are called Progressive Web Apps (PWAs), bridging the gap between regular websites and native apps. No more digging through a sea of tabs to find your go-to site – now, you can have it neatly tucked away on your desktop.
Imagine having YouTubeor Reddit at your fingertips without the clutter.
To get in on the action, you’ll need to install Chrome Canary and tweak a couple of settings. It’s like having a personalized app store for your most-visited websites. Once set up, just click on the app icon, and voila! Your favorite site opens in a dedicated window, ready for action.
But wait, there’s more! Chrome 122, the current stable version, is all about AI writing and Read Aloud tools for Android. Chrome 123, on the horizon, is bringing a built-in PDF reader for Android, a snazzy Android-style media player for desktops, and even better tab group sharing.
Why hunt for tabs when you can have your favorite sites at the click of a button? Try it out and let us know!
