was just futzing on the computer this morning and hit the '3 dots' on Google Chrome - there is a menu item that says 'Install British Car Forum' - whaaat?!

Clicked it and, sure enough.

I wonder what they will think of next? Flying cars?

(seriously though - nice bit of kit)
 
Use Chrome here but no such menu item. But I'm on a Linux version. And without a "smart" phone anyway. 🤷

Haven't even looked at it for the phone - this was (is) on the laptop

I probably ought to make the "Video Tutorial" forum a main forum and not a sub forum. I have dozens of tutorial videos on "how to" do many different things on BCF, but not many people (it seems) ever venture into that sub-forum.

I have the option with Chrome in Mint. The app removes my bookmark bar for the other sites I visit. So it is an extra step for me to open Chrome to go elsewhere.
 
I opened Chrome and saw the "Install British Car Forum" - I think it just adds a "shortcut" to your desktop (or wherever you choose to place it)
 
I shouldn't have said it removes anything. The app version just loads BCF. If I want to go to another site, I have to load the full version of Chrome.
 
I am using the app on my fancy Samsung phone right now, I've been using it for over a year now.
