[Wayland] PWAs no longer appear as separate app windows — all group under main Edge icon
Hi, Since around 2025-09-07 to 2025-09-10, I’ve noticed that on GNOME (Wayland) all installed PWAs (even across different profiles) now appear grouped under the main Edge browser icon in the GNOME Shell dash/taskbar. Previously, each PWA would open in its own window group with its own icon. This is still the behavior in Chromium/Brave/Chrome, and can be restored there by editing the PWA’s .desktop file to set: StartupWMClass=<same value as Icon> However, Edge now seems to ignore StartupWMClass completely on Wayland, breaking workspace separation and making task switching hard. Environment: Ubuntu 25.04 GNOME 48.0 / Mutter (Wayland) Kernel 6.14.0-29 Intel Iris Xe GPU Edge (latest stable, observed post 2025-09-13) Repro steps: Install any PWA (e.g. Outlook, Teams, Spotify) from Edge Launch it (from any profile) Observe that it appears grouped under the main Edge browser icon Expected: PWA shows under its own icon and window group like in Chromium-based browsers Actual: All PWAs are bundled into the main Edge window group Editing StartupWMClass in the .desktop file no longer helps This regression makes PWAs much harder to manage on Wayland. Please route to the Linux/Wayland team if possible. Thanks!
Deploying a PWA and an icon - too much to ask?
Having logged a call with support i've been informed its impossible to deploy an icon allong with the config to deploy a pwa? Using the following policy https://nam06.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fdocs.microsoft.com%2Fen-us%2Fdeployedge%2Fmicrosoft-edge-policies%23configure-list-of-force-installed-web-apps&data=04%7C01%7Co365sup8%40microsoft.com%7C01aa4572328c4f549a3a08d97864a726%7C72f988bf86f141af91ab2d7cd011db47%7C1%7C0%7C637673195983809537%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJWIjoiMC4wLjAwMDAiLCJQIjoiV2luMzIiLCJBTiI6Ik1haWwiLCJXVCI6Mn0%3D%7C1000&sdata=HlbpXTlA%2F6btSLu5qp7aKIj3g%2B0Mt4MQfBiGmdqyY0U%3D&reserved=0 I wanted to control the icon delivered on the desktop when installed after using the "create_desktop_shortcut": true, "default_launch_container": "window" } configuration. Im struggling to understand why you couldn't pull down an .ico or image such as a png to act as its icon. Am I supposed to wait until the new microsoft app store is available and use pwabuilder.com?
PWA progressive web app
Hi team ♥ First of all i'm super glad of all the changes which have been made on edge chronium recently. Foccusing on PWA 2 more options added whrn you install install allowing having tabs & launch on windows start But allowing tabs spot on a visual bug for me wich is tabs overlays minimal-ui in manifest. Am i the only one or should we tell devs to fix it ? LOVE YOU ALL ♥ HotCakeX Elliot_Kirk josh_bodner[Suggesion] Add an option to make websites installd as apps to be always on top, like Windows apps
Add the option to somewhere like this As to Why I want this feature and reasons behind it, there are a couple: I want to install YouTube website as an app, make it to be on top of all windows so it won't be behind the program that I use. for example I want to code in Visual Studio and watch a YouTube video to learn something and apply it directly. I want to have Bing or Google search installed as an app in Edge, launch the app, resize the window to have a rectangle shape, put it on the left side to have a side bar which always stays on top. now I can always quickly search for anything I want in that Edge app, no matter what program I use, because it stays on top.*** there are lots of other examples, where websites host a specific service and when we add it in Edge as an app, we will be able to use it just like a real Windows app and have it accessible on all programs if we pin it to be always on top. ***You could say that I could use Windows 10 search on the taskbar but It's not the same. because when you click on something, a picture, video etc, that is a link, the search app in Windows 10 will open it in a full browser window. what i would want is to view that image, watch that YouTube video, right from my Windows 10 taskbar, without going to a full browser window.
