Key Points:
- Chrome 155 on Googlebooks now allows users to manually install any webpage as a web app, even if the site lacks an installable web manifest, enhancing web app support and system integration.
- Users can install web apps via the Chrome menu or an install option in the address bar, with on-screen instructions guiding the process; old browser-tab shortcuts must be removed before reinstalling.
- Installed web apps can be pinned to the taskbar or homescreen, run in Chrome, and share Google Account login, cookies, site permissions, and browser extensions for a seamless experience.
- Chrome Settings has been redesigned from a fullscreen interface to a separate tab on Googlebooks, enabling easier multitasking and reference to web pages while adjusting settings.
