With the latest canary versions of Chrome and Edge, it is now possible to even have selection options for PWAs directly from the Jump List. The Jump List is the menu that you get when you right-click an application icon on the taskbar. Recently, Google and Microsoft added support for PWA in the Jump Lists from Chrome and Edge.

How can I install a PWA in Chrome and see its Jump List?
Now you need to go to a PWA and install it. Google has prepared a test site, sadchonks.com, so we will play with it. So here is how to do it. The chunky cat app is just a silly example but for instance, we did the same for Twitter. After we installed the Twitter app from the website we got a more useful Jump List.

For the sake of this experiment, we will use the same PWA provided by Google, sadchonks.com. If you either install the PWA with Chrome or Edge, you will also see the app in the start menu. Did you install any PWAs? Do you like the Jump List option for PWAs? What do you think about them? Drop us a line with your thoughts in the comments section below.
