- From the submenu, click “Install Page as App…” or “Create Shortcut”.
❺ Confirm Installation
- A small window will appear; click the “Install” button.
❻ Result

⚠️ Important Notices: #
- Make sure to use the Chrome browser: This feature is primarily available in Google Chrome. Other browsers may not support it in the same way.
- Pre-login: You must be logged into the program before performing the steps so that the browser saves the login session.
- Default app name: The app will automatically take the site name, but you can change the name during the installation process if there is an option.
- Desktop shortcut: Ensure the icon appears on the desktop. If it does not appear, look for it in the Start menu and drag it to the desktop manually.
💡 Additional tips: #
📌 Standalone App Feature
- When launching the program from the desktop, a window opens without browser bars (address bar, buttons, etc.), providing a cleaner experience that resembles a desktop application.
📌 Automatic updates
- Don’t worry about updates; the app uses the same version as the browser, and all updates happen automatically via Chrome.
📌 Remove the application
- If you want to delete the app later, simply delete the shortcut from your desktop or go to Chrome Settings → Apps → right-click → Remove.
