Currently standalone and fullscreen PWAs show a "minibar" UI (WebappUrlBar in code). We want to replace it with Chrome Custom Tab UI, CustomTabToolbar in particular.
We believe this will be more usable (e.g. provides more features), prettier, and as a bonus will reduce number of UIs we have to maintain. Another bonus is that developers will have power of specifying the color of the toolbar, which will add to "I'm still in the app" feeling.
