Windows 10: New Microsoft Edge has a game changing feature. Turning a website into an "app".

Today I created a Monday account to track some data science courses and readings I want to do. I really enjoyed the Monday interface to track progress on projects, I thought to myself "Hm, this would be great if Microsoft had it in their app store." I took a look and to no surprise it was not there.

However! I discovered Microsoft Edge Chromium has a feature where you can convert a website to an "app". You can find this if you go to the top right of your browser>click on Apps> click on Install this Site as an App.

Once you do that it converts the website to something that feels like a windows UWP app and you can pin it to your start menu and taskbar with the Icon of the website included. See at the bottom left of my task bar, it included the Monday logo.

Microsoft Edge audio issue with a website (and perhaps others?)

Thanks for the suggestion Melowin. I followed the steps but unfortunately this did not resolve the audio issue for the website Learn English Pronunciation | How To Pronounce Words. Still no audio.

In contrast the website HowToPronounce.com: Click, Hear & Learn Pronunciation I mentioned in my original posting was not impacted by this change either.
