I try to use Add Do Home menu in chrome Mobile. M31 but it is allways hidden even when it is activated in chrome://flags/
It has been disabled for now because it doesn't work in the current Chrome Beta for Android: https://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=316311

I used to be able to override a flag in Chrome to hide the default share screen, thus giving direct/one-tap access to all the apps on my phone, but the option appears to be done now with Android 10.
I guess it could be sharing from any app on my phone, not just Chrome.
Any other way to do this?
Thanks.
I have 3 Android devices.
Android 7.1, Chrome v71 latest version
Android 8.0, Chrome v71 latest version
Anrdoid 8.1, Chrome v71 latest version
I tested PWA's "Add to home" feature and some weird behavior in chrome browser
First device always ask "Add to home" when access website even though already installed it.
Second and Third device only ask "Add to home" when PWA not installed.
Also I tested Android Simulator v8.0 was same thing first device.
I have no idea why each browsers show different work.
Based from this documentation, starting in Chrome 68 on Android, Chrome will no longer show the add to home screen banner.
If the site meets the add to home screen criteria, Chrome will show the mini-infobar. Then, if the user clicks on the mini-infobar, or you call prompt() on the beforeinstallprompt event from within a user gesture, Chrome will show a modal add to home screen dialog.
Is there a basic example showing how to disable the default Android browser on a Samsung Galaxy S6, MDM or otherwise, without root permissions? I’ve already tried the basic profile example; however, it does not encompass what I need.
If you go to
settings>apps>(all tab)>Browser>Click "Disable"
you won't have to ever answer if you want a link or anything to open in Browser or Chrome. It will act like Browser isn't on your phone and default to Chrome.
I want to use Android Tablet to show a web page in Kiosk mode ( The user can't close the page, no address bar .. )
So is there any simple solution to do that ?
Disclaimer: I founded the opensource Webconverger Web kiosk project.
https://github.com/webconverger/android is an opensource implementation of an Android 5.0 app that does just that. You could remove the close button, but the close button simply reloads the configured homepage.
Android 5.0's screen pinning locks it all down. If you must run on older Android <5 versions, have a look at good collection of Android kiosk mode hacks.
When I open default browser using Appium, instead of given url, it opens default home page. Never mind if I set the home page to blank page, or something else. It works fine when opening browser manually, but when appium opens it, it is again set to default page.
I tested 2 devices with Android 4.1 and I always get the same issue on both.
This issue does not happen with Chrome browser.
Has anyone had this problem?
If you want to work with the stock Android browser using Appium, i suggest you run your tests on an emulator instead of the real real device.
Appium is compatible with Chrome on real Android devices but you can run the tests on the Stock Android browser if you use an Emulated device.
I have tried it out and it works.
Cheers
