Using Your Desktop as a Chrome Application

A common issue when running the desktop in a browser tab in Germany is that certain keyboard shortcuts, like Ctrl+W and Ctrl+F4, are captured by the browser itself.

A straightforward workaround is to set up the desktop as an application using Chrome or any Chromium-based browser.
