Modern browsers let you install any web page as a Progressive Web App (PWA) — a standalone application that gets its own window, taskbar icon, and desktop shortcut. For the ClassicUO Web Client, installing as an app provides three meaningful benefits over playing in a regular browser tab. Why install as an app?Documentation Index

Use this file to discover all available pages before exploring further.
- Standalone window — no address bar, tab strip, or browser toolbar cluttering your screen.
- Taskbar and desktop shortcut — launch the game directly without opening a browser first.
- Persistent storage — installed PWAs request persistent storage from the browser. Chrome exempts persistent storage from automatic eviction, so your 3.2 GB of downloaded game files won’t disappear when your disk runs low.
- Fewer hotkey conflicts — browser shortcuts like
Ctrl+W,Ctrl+T, andF5won’t interfere with in-game keybindings.
Install on Chrome
Navigate to the game and wait for it to load
Open the ClassicUO Web Client URL in Chrome and wait for the initial load to complete. The install option only appears once the page has fully loaded.
Click "Install page as app…"
Select Install page as app… from the menu. If this option does not appear, make sure you are on the correct URL and that the page has finished loading.
Install on Microsoft Edge
Navigate to the game and wait for it to load
Open the ClassicUO Web Client URL in Edge and wait for the page to finish loading.
Open the three-dot menu and go to Apps
Click the three-dot menu (⋯) in the top-right corner of Edge, then hover over Apps.
Microsoft Edge is an excellent choice for the game browser if you want to keep game and everyday browsing completely separate. See the dedicated browser guide for a full walkthrough.
