Install apps option

Hello How I can disable the install "apps" option on certain sites (icon which appears in the address bar) ? Thanks

Tested with a new installation, it's the same

Also in Chrome now, probably a new feature from Outlook.com (linked to Outlook.com or Chromium)

tistou thanks for the feedback. We are working on that user experience.

I would like to ask why you want it not to show up for you. Is it just annoying, or do you click it by accident some times, or ???

Currently it shows up when the web developer for that site wants it to: they have implemented a service worker, written a manifest file, and hosted their site on https:// .

So far we have been focused on making sure it shows up when webdevs want it to, we have not focused on hiding it when users don't want to see it.

Hi

Indeed, at the beginning I clicked on it by accident
But it's true that I like having the choice to hide or not what I don't use

But there are other little "bugs/suggestions" that I reported more important than this one
