| How to get "Application Shortcut" functionality on Chrome for Mac, as of June 2018: | |
| 1. Type chrome://flags/ in the URL bar and hit return | |
| 2. Enable these options: | |
| - The new bookmark app system | |
| - Allow hosted apps to be opened in windows | |
| - Creation of app shims for hosted apps on Mac | |
| 3. Restart the browser | |
| 4. Visit the web page you would like to turn into an application | |
| 5. Navigate to Settings > More Tools > Create Shortcut... | |
| 6. Give the app a name, make sure "Open as window" is enabled, and click Create | |
| 7. The folder Chrome Apps should open in finder. Drag the new app shortcut to the dock or another location for easy access | |
| That's it! You can even quit the app (Cmd-Q) without closing other Chrome windows, as it acts like a separate Mac app. |
