For Progressive Web Apps the aim is for web pages to look and work a lot like apps. This can be difficult when the chrome of the page looks just like a browser.

Google is attempting to address this by bringing coloured title bars to their PWAs.

The latest version of Chromium will now automatically detects a site’s colour and theme its tab strip based on that.
