This just changes the OS chrome on a browser tab right ? I generally dislike electron apps, but when they're literally just a browser tab I'd rather just leave it in the browser.
No this just opens the website in it's own window so it looks similar to an electron app, another way to do this is to open chrome://apps, drag any bookmark to this window/tab and right click to create icons.
It does nothing to the "OS" of the browser.
Dude, "os chrome" refers to the window, as in the frame around the webpage.
So yes, it's like a browser tab with a hidden url bar. Amazing.
Well TiL some programming terminology.
Thanks
