Next-level web apps on desktop
summary
Web apps gain desktop-level features: in-browser video editing platform (Clipchamp) already runs as a PWA and reports three times retention for installed users. New Chrome APIs let sites declare file handlers and receive queued launch file handles, set window placement across multiple monitors and open tabs inside standalone windows, use display_override for tabbed app mode, request run-on-login or minimized start, and schedule time-based notification triggers (origin trial; many features need Canary/flags).
