Link Capture Tester

Configure a PWA manifest (scope, capture_links, launch_handler.client_mode) and test a list of URLs to see which ones would be captured by the installed app vs. opening in the browser tab. Chrome 134 enables this on desktop (Windows/macOS/Linux).

Install as PWA to test real capture behaviour

Chrome 134 extends user navigation capturing to desktop. When a user clicks a link that falls within an installed PWA's scope, Chrome routes it to the PWA window instead of opening a new browser tab — respecting the launch_handler.client_mode setting.
