YouTube is easily the most recent Google service providing users having a web app, as the search giant is becoming increasingly more dedicated to offering all its products as PWAs.

As reported by ChromeUnboxed, some users who load the official YouTube websites are now being asked to install the YouTube app within their browsers.

It's believed this feature has become rolling out to all users out there, though with my case, the PWA prompt was only shown in the search engines Chrome - however, you can also install the PWA in other browsers manually, including Microsoft Edge.

Offline support incoming?

PWAs appear to be the next popular trend on the web, and also at some point, they've been considered the only way to deal with the possible lack of apps on some platforms.

Microsoft itself bet big on web apps for coping with the lack of apps on its modern os's, though at this time, the debut from the Chromium Microsoft Edge brings Windows 10 comparable to any other platform with regards to PWAs.

Based on the cited source, among the big features Google might be employed by the YouTube PWA might be offline support, something the organization has already introduced for the Google Calendar web app for Workspace users.

Up until now, the YouTube web app continues to be gradually offered to users, so with this recent update, it's believed the rollout has reached the purpose when it's broadly available to anyone.

On Windows 10, web apps can be simply pinned towards the taskbar and accessed with just a single click, which of course deals with the lack of a local YouTube app around the operating-system. The PWA offers the same functionality as the main YouTube website and loads in the browser you normally experience the web.
