I opened a bug 1863897 that is now closed as a duplicate of this one which concerned the A2HS (add to home screen) functionality of PWAs (progressive web apps). If you use the A2HS functionality it should create a desktop icon and open the PWA in a Chromium standalone window that looks similar to a desktop application. However as per this bug, it does not work.
In the snap version of Chromium the resulting desktop icon is missing and the link does not work. This did previously work in the deb package of Chromium, so I suspect it is caused by the migration to Snap but have not proved it.

To reproduce, there is an MDN page https:/ /developer. mozilla. org/en- US/docs/ Web/Progressive _web_apps/ Add_to_ home_screen that links to a PWA that has a A2HS prompt:
