PWA Install Block - A Chrome Extension for Managing PWA Installs

PWA Install Block is a Chrome extension designed to provide a smoother web experience by reducing the presence of Progressive Web Apps (PWAs). It blocks PWAs from offering installation when you visit websites. What sets PWA Install Block apart is its capability to manage exceptions through its admin console extension JSON, where specific domains can be allowed for PWA installations.

Used to work well, but now appears to be broken on new versions of Chrome (at least on certain websites)
