Hola, Thanks in advance for your support. **Description of the issue:** The problem is described here: ["Add Shortcut to Home Screen" vs "Install App"](https://community.brave.app/t/add-shortcut-to-home-screen-vs-install-app/311223) but it is not solved. Why in some web pages you can only “Install App” and not “Add Shortcut to Home Screen”? Is there a way just to add shortcut to Home Screen in all cases and avoid installing an app? **Actual Result (gifs and screenshots are welcome!):** Sometimes, websites ask you to install an app. Sometimes, websites ask you to add a shortcut to home screen. It seems that this is due to PWA but can you avoid PWA and always force Brave to add a shortcut to home screen? **Expected result:** Not to install app but add a shortcut to home screen or, at least, having the option to choose. **Operating System and Brave Version(See the `About Brave` page in the main menu):** Android 12 and 1.40.109 Thanks. Un saludo, Fernando. ---
