26 Topics[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!609Views10likes15CommentsPWA shortcuts don't keep asociated with window - Linux
I recently upgraded to version140.0.3485.14 (Official build) beta (64-bit) and noticed that my PWA, even if they open correctly in a independent window, don't show the "running window counter" on the taskbar. So, for example, if a open Outlook, the window open and loads the app, but if a I click the icon again, it opens another window, wich is a little annoying. I tried removing the PWA from Edge, rebooting, and installing again, but didn't work. Because the only change I made is updating Edge, I think is related to this build. (too lazy to go back or install the stable release)495Views9likes7CommentsEdge Android does not truly install PWA
I believe Edge Android does not truly installs PWA, instead it creates a shortcut on the home screen. If I install PWA from Chrome, the app is added to the App drawer and also shows up in Settings > Apps list. This is not the case when installing via Edge. It only shows up on the home screen and there is a edge logo at the bottom right corner of the app logo. This is not a site specific issue, I have created multiple PWAs that install perfectly on other platforms and browsers except Edge. I even tried the https://microsoftedge.github.io/Demos/pwamp/ and it also behaves in the same way.1.3KViews2likes2CommentsAdd Syncing of PWAs between devices | sites that are installed as apps in Edge browser
I usually add a bunch of sites and social medias to Edge as PWA and install them in Edge: edge://apps/ I would like them to sync with my Microsoft account and to be available on all of my devices, other Windows and Mac devices, so I won't have to install them one by one again.Solved6.6KViews8likes19CommentsExpose each Edge's tab and PWAs sounds to Windows sound control separately
Expose each Edge's tab and PWAs sounds to Windows sound control separately so we can set different volume level for each of them When I install YouTube, Spotify web player or similar sites as a PWA (progressive web app) in Edge, or use them in different tabs, I want to be able to control each of their volumes separately using Windows sound control or the audio widget of Xbox Game bar, for more convenience and control over the sound we hear. currently, everything is shown and combined under "Edge". you can also upvote in feedback hub: https://aka.ms/AAckqfh6.2KViews1like5CommentsNew Feature: Launch Taskbar Pinning Wizard in Edge insider

With Desktop PWA tab strips enabled on a Mac, dragging tabs within the PWA crashes the PWA. The issue appears to be related to dragging with the mouse/cursor. If I use other methods to move the tab, the PWA does NOT crash. For example, if I right click on a tab and "Move Tab to -->" I am able to move the tab to another window. If I "Add tab to tab group", the tab moves within the PWA just fine.1.1KViews0likes2CommentsPWA in edge for linux opens in edge's window
Web apps opens inside edge as in the screenshot above rather I want it to open it up separately for example I installed reddit as a web app and it opens alongside edge's icon in the panel but I want it open separately with reddit's icon in the panel. It should open like below with its own icon in the panel. I am on linux1.2KViews0likes0CommentsHow to get current URL in Web App
Hi all, some weeks ago, the App-Info Menu changed. Back then there was easy option to copy the current URL. e.g. when browsing through my Jira Web App, i am not able to get the URL easily, my current workarround is to open the site in Edge und copy it from the adress bar. Infos: Windows 10 Edge Version : Version 92.0.902.62 (Offizielles Build) (64-Bit) Is there any (keyboard-) shortcut for this issue? Regards, EED3.7KViews1like3CommentsLove the new optional tab strip for PWAs
Edge Version 88.0.692.0 (Official build) dev (64-bit) the flag for this new feature is: edge://flags/#enable-desktop-pwas-tab-strip you will be asked if you want tab strip for your PWA upon installation These are the kind of prompts you receive if the website offers the install option on the address bar. if a website does not offer the install option in the address bar, and you try to install it using: (ellipsis menu => Apps => install this site as an app) then the prompt will look like this, a 3rd option will be offered.6.7KViews5likes7Comments
