There's an App for it??

[adyj1]

What started this all off was me being prompted to install 'sgl' on my android chrome browser rather than selecting from any menus, and the resulting 'user experience' not looking like a Web browser. 

When I use the "add to home screen button" for a website - say FLO for example - I do get a different icon and when I then follow the FLO icon it opens inside the chrome browser.

The SGL 'not-an-app-because-it' s-a-browser-shortcut' doesn't obviously open in chrome, and has none of the chrome menu options... 

here is the chrome and 'not-an-app' Windows when I swipe up to show running apps. 

It's actually a lot more convenient running this way.

It's the same here, more that web brower shortcut IMHO, doesnt open in a web brower.  That has it's disadvantages as I always open images in a new tab to view at full resolution, and you cant do this as conveniently!
