Discourse Chrome extension/webapp

Not sure if folks have seen this, but to overcome the “land of 1000 tabs” problem, I noticed that Discourse (at least on Chrome) has an extension/plugin that lets you pop the forum out as its own app, which I’m finding to be helpful to prevent it from being lost in all the other tabs I have open…

@DCoP_Innovators FYI this thread discusses the Chrome app/extension for Discourse.

In Chrome on Windows, if you look in the URL bar on your browser you’ll see this icon:

Once you click it, Discourse will pop out and act as a separate application on your computer (also note you can see the logo in the task bar):

Let me know if you have any questions! Anyone know if this works on Mac or other browsers?

Hi! Mac user here. It works, icon is a bit different but as longs as it says “Install Discourse app” it will work!
