Of course, it’s easy to add an app to the home screen if the user changes their mind or accidentally removes the shortcut.

It also has to be Chrome 51 or newer, right? I usually stick with Chrome Beta on mobile for day-to-day use. It could be a few months until the average person sees the banner on their device.
