Hey Dan,
This is actually the intented behavior of the current feature, where, in the case of a PWA (progressive web app), it will be opened as a kind of standalone app.

What I understand from your bug report is that you would like to have two clear options in the case of PWA:

  • "Install as an app" (which would keep the current behavior)
  • Add a shortcut to this site on Home screen

Is it correct?
