Live in the Chrome Canary experimental channel for Chrome OS, the new feature promises to let you run progressive Web Apps just like you would run native Chrome OS apps on your Chromebook. The apps will work offline in their own custom window. Fran??ois Beaufort says that Chromebook owners will be able to easily launch these progressive Web Apps from the shelf in Chrome OS, once the feature is implemented in the stable channel. Also, it will integrate into Chrome OS’ overview menu, as well as the Chrome browser’s menu making the installation a breeze.
