Chrome 70, available now, lets you install “Progressive Web Apps,” or PWAs, on Windows. When you visit a website with a PWA, like Twitter or Spotify, you can now “install” it to make it behave more like a normal desktop application.
Progressive Web Apps are web apps that behave more like native apps. You can “install” them to give them a dedicated window and shortcut on your PC. They can also load quickly, run offline, and show you notifications—just like normal apps.

To install a PWA, you’ll first need to visit a website that offers one. Currently, very few websites offer PWAs. Twitter does offer a PWA that uses its mobile interface. The Spotify Web Player offers a PWA at a hidden address, too.
When you’re on a website that offers a PWA, you can click menu > Install [App Name] to install it. For example, you can visit the Twitter Mobile site and click menu > Install Twitter. For Spotify, visit the Spotify PWA address and click Install > Spotify.
If you don’t see this option, the website you’re visiting doesn’t offer a PWA. Most websites don’t.
You’ll be prompted to install the app on your system. Click “Install.”
