Chrome M155 lets you turn any website into a desktop app on Googlebook

digitaltrends.com —

Google has released Chrome M155, which now allows Googlebook owners to install any website as a standalone app and pin it to the taskbar, a feature previously limited to developer-configured sites. The update responds to user feedback, as Google initially restricted installations but has now reversed course. Installed sites launch in their own windows, appear in the app launcher, and retain browser data like sign-ins, cookies, and extensions. The update rolls out automatically, but users can manually update Chrome via the Google Play Store. To install, open a site, use the menu's "Save and share" option, and select "Install and create shortcut."
