    Huh never saw that “install app” on Chrome before, just “add to home screen”. Is this just like a shell that hides the address bar?

      Basically yes. Some websites are more designed for it than others and behave as what’s called a “progressive web app”. If you ever hear PWA, basically what that means is that it’s a browser app pretending to be a desktop app.

        Ah I’m familiar with PWA, really they should be the future. Google has a love hate relationship with Android, so they push PWA.
