Tech giant Microsoft is reportedly working on a new feature for its Edge browser that will make Progressive Web Apps (PWAs) and web apps feel more native.

The new option lets users set Edge to open links in associated Progressive Web Apps or installed web apps. For example, a person could set their browser to open the YouTube PWA after clicking a YouTube link within Edge, reports Windows Central.

First spotted and shared by a prominent Reddit user Leo Varela, the feature can be enabled right now through a flag in Edge Canary.

Searching for "Enable opening support links within installed web apps" should make the option appear within edge://flags in Edge.
