Federico GuilianiAdd to Desktop in Tools is missing in chrome 67?
In chrome Versión 67.0.3396.99 (Build oficial) (64 bits) is missing the option add to desktop.
Is this a bug or is on pourpose?
How can I add that option again?
I need to create desktop link that open the link as a window not like a tab, that why I need this option.
Thanks
Federico

Jake R GibsonYou can still access it though it is called something different. Click on the three dots in the top right, go down to more tools and select create shortcut. It is the same thing but under a different name.

Google userThat just creates a regular shortcut. It doesn't create a web application like it did before.

Google userThis isn't the case currently. Using More Tools -> Create Shortcut does the same thing as add to desktop used to.

Billium1953No, it does not add to your desktop. This is a sadly missing component of Chrome. Who makes these decisions?

Tyler WhitehurstYou can still add one manually with a little more work,
- Right click on desktop > new > shortcut
- set location of item to: "{Path to Chrome}" --app="{URL}"
for example if my path is C:\Program Files (x86)\Google\Chrome\Application\chrome.exe
- Right click on desktop > new > shortcut
- set location of item to: "{Path to Chrome}" --app="{URL}"
for example if my path is C:\Program Files (x86)\Google\Chrome\Application\chrome.exe
Hope this helps!

MMB10Sadly it is not the same thing. The shortcut will now open a full chrome window with tab row and bookmark row and everything.
What I want is an dedicated window only for that website I created a shortcut for.
