Question:

Is the PRO Tablet (Full Screen) Mode different from the option to “Install” a PWA on my DESKTOP/laptop?

After watching this video: [https://youtu.be/9fQSH-a3Nus](https://youtu.be/9fQSH-a3Nus)

I have ‘downloaded’ the app to my desktop and added it to my taskbar.

Also, I resized the window to look more like an APP.

It seems that it could have been done last year also… [https://twitter.com/rpetitto/status/1205530874726539264?s=20](https://twitter.com/rpetitto/status/1205530874726539264?s=20)

It seems I can “install” any PWA to my desktop.

I am guessing that I will still be able to do this with the ‘free’ version.

No, they are identical. You only have 2 viewable options, Mobile and Tablet mode and tablet mode in most menus looks identical to Mobile.
