For example, <a href=\"https:\/\/pureinfotech.com\/install-youtube-web-app-windows-10\/\">YouTube<\/a> is a popular video streaming service, but Google refuses to build an app for Windows users. As another example, OpenAI has a ChatGPT app for macOS, but at the time of writing, the company is still developing an app for Windows 11.<\/p>\n<p>If this is your case and you happen to be a Google Chrome user, it&#8217;s possible to install a site as an app, thanks to the <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Progressive_web_app\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Progressive Web Apps (PWAs)<\/a> support available in the browser. Once you install the website, it will behave like a traditional application, meaning that you can pin it to the Taskbar, it will be available through the Start menu, and you can uninstall it as a traditional app. It may even include offline support, but this is up to the developer to implement, and that&#8217;s not always the case.<\/p>\n<p>In this <a href=\"https:\/\/pureinfotech.com\/tag\/windows-11\">guide<\/a>, I will show you the steps to install and uninstall web apps on <a href=\"https:\/\/pureinfotech.com\/tag\/windows-11\">Windows 11<\/a> (and 10).<\/p>\n<ul class=\"toc\">\n<li><a href=\"#install_pwa_chrome\">Install a website as an app with Chrome on Windows<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"#uninstall_pwa_chrome\">Uninstall a web app from Chrome on Windows<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2 id=\"install_pwa_chrome\">Install a website as an app with Chrome on Windows<\/h2>\n<p>To install a site as an app with Chrome, use these steps:<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>\n<p>Open <strong>Google Chrome<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p>Open the<b>\u00a0<\/b>website to install (for example, <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/chat.openai.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">ChatGPT<\/a><\/strong>).<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p>Click the <strong>Customize and Control<\/strong> (three-dotted) button in the top-right corner.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p>Select the <strong>&#8220;Cast, save and share&#8221;
