52Install Any Website as a Progressive Web App with Microsoft Edge Chromium Beta [Tutorial].
The Chromium-based Microsoft Edge now allows you to install any website as an app. We're seeing many more Progressive Web Apps appear and using a website as an app can have advantages for many of your favorite sites. See the bottom of this tutorial for ten websites that do an excellent job of using Progressive Web Apps.
Click on the three dots in the top-right corner of Microsoft Edge and line your mouse over Apps. Click on Install this site as an app.
Progressive web apps enable websites to function more like native mobile apps in exchange for some flexibility. You get native mobile app functionality (or close to it) without all the overhead of app store approvals and tons of platform-specific native code. Users can install a progressive web app to their home screen and launch it just like a native app. However, the app is launched into a pseudo-app frame that has some restrictions and only allows access to pages that are sub-paths of the initial path of the progressive web app. They also must be served over HTTPS.
