Google is about to add a "tagged" display mode / interface for web applications, which can display multiple tags for web applications on windows 10/11 and other desktop platforms As early as in the bug post submitted in 2018, Google hinted at this function, but it has only come into effect now.

Google wants web applications to be as powerful as possible, and one way to do this is to make multitasking easier. All browsers have tags, which would be meaningful if web applications also support tags. Google believes that the tag display mode of web applications will allow you to access various functions of PWA without leaving the main window.

This means that users can copy, upload and navigate more easily than existing operations. In the current implementation, if you click a link in a web application, the web application will lose focus and the user will be redirected to the browser.

Google is exploring to support the new display mode "tabbed" and the new variable "tab\u strip". Through the "tabbed" interface or display, Google believes that there may be behaviors similar to ordinary browser windows. For example, a tag in a web application will allow you to open multiple documents from one index page.

Google pointed out in a document: "at present, PWA in independent windows can only open one page at a time. Some applications expect users to open many pages at a time. The tag mode adds a tag bar to independent web applications, allowing multiple tags to be opened at the same time".

This feature is particularly useful for productivity applications that allow you to edit multiple documents at once and have a main tab, the home page. For example, windows Of office There is a home page that includes links to documents and other features.

Similarly, Google's web application has a tabbed interface. You can use the main tab as a menu to open existing files, and then all files will be opened in their own tabs.

According to a post on the googlechromium discussion forum, Google will soon add this feature to the browser. Users can test it with a new logo "enable desktop PWAs tab strip".
