      @artexjay As of 2020 November, Google Chrome, Edge, Vivaldi, and Brave all support PWA's/Webapps. I do not believe that Opera Supports it yet.

        already 2021 and Opera still doesn't support PWA / WebApps. I'm switching to Edge, but it's bad for Opera and so few users use this browser.

          @skywerty I switched to Edge on 25.09.2019 and I'm happy soo far. Always wished they should add Bookmark thumbnail but now you can add pages to collecions and view their thumbnail.

              @brkeejp Yes, Microsoft is doing great work with their chromium based edge but it has problems too, not with pwa though.

                  Yandex PWD applications very smoothly. I love how on the Windows Taskbar, they are shown with the correct app icon and are easy to spot when I have many open.

                  Sure, with Opera I can break a tab off as a separate window, but on the taskbar they all show the Opera icon which can get hard to see which is which.

                  Currently I switch between Yandex and Opera depending on what I am doing,but it would be awesome do do everything in Opera. Web apps on desktop? Yes please!

                      I started out as a web developer, and that’s now one part of what I do as a full-stack developer, but never had I imagined I’d create things for the desktop. I love the web. I love how altruistic our community is, how it embraces open-source, testing and pushing the envelope. I love discovering beautiful websites and powerful apps. When I was first tasked with creating a desktop app, I was apprehensive and intimidated. It seemed like it would be difficult, or at least… different.

                        @survivor303 I am also looking for the answer.

                          This is a must! Window management is 100% easier when you get a dedicated icon to commonly visited websites

                            I'm perfectly happy with Opera GX except for this lack of functionality. I tried Vivaldi and didn't use it for long, same with Brave. Right now I'm only using MS Edge for its PWA functionality, everything else I do in Opera. Please change this!

                              Well, Opera Browser has been updated to Opera One. Still doesn't have webapps, which is disappointing.
                              I do like the fact that a lot of ads don't seem to appear in YouTube on Opera. I had been using Brave, but they are starting to allow ads through.
                              I guess that this might be more difficult to support on non-Windows platforms.
