Re: [w3c/manifest] Way to detect if a web app is installed (Issue #1092)

raad-altaie left a comment (w3c/manifest#1092)

Any update on this?

For now, can we just implement `navigator.standalone` to detect if we're in a PWA standalone window, similar to how it works on Safari?

**Safari behavior:**
- `navigator.standalone` returns `true` when the site is launched from the home screen and runs in a standalone window PWA (i.e., without browser UI).
- It returns `false` when opened in a normal Safari tab—even if the site was added to the home screen.

This makes it useful for detecting standalone context in Safari.

Does anyone know why a similar implementation isn’t suitable for Chromium browsers?
