Feature: Install Page as App

I'm hitting a wall with one specific workflow: creating standalone desktop apps from websites.

On Brave/Chromium you can Install any page app - which is tremendously useful - because once you install a page as an app: it lives on the dock, it is a standalone window and I can switch easily using cmd+tab.

I know that may exist a couple of argumenta against creating that feature:

  1. menu complexity, which is probably against Arc's design system
  2. user flow, the favorites at the top probably is Arc's closest solution to this.

But it doesn't get close to a native mac experience for websites that I use a lot. That I need that extra OS layer integration.
I've switched to Arc about 2 years ago, and I still to this day use Brave because of this sole feature.

What annoys me is: when I click links inside the App window it opens a Brave window - which I don't want - I'd love for it to open inside Arc.

This feature is huge guys! Consider it seriously.
