Giving a static signal to users when they are on a PWA will help encourage developer uptake of PWAs and surface the fact that these sites are installable.
It will also help take the pressure of informing a user that they are on a PWA off the app install banner, allowing that feature to be evolved to allow more developer control.
Launching this has been a mess due to the PM swap. We're aiming to have a launch bug filed today.
We're trying to make M67 for this + the new modal banner flow since desktop PWAs are launching in that milestone with the new banner behaviour; we don't want mobile to be inconsistent and lag behind.
Requesting merge of #15 to M67 branch 3396. This is a flat revert of #12 since we are punting the launch of this feature by 1 milestone. It should be very safe to merge since this state was on trunk for a long time prior to #12 landing, and there have been no relevant changes in the interim.
This bug requires manual review: There is .grd file changes and we are only 38 days from stable.
Please contact the milestone owner if you have questions.
