Overview
A Progressive Web App (PWA) is a web-based application that delivers a user experience comparable to that of a native app for a specific platform
Authentic8 provides a PWA Silo Cloud Browser app shortcut based on the Silo Web Client, which is available for download at: https://get.a8silo.com/launch
Steps for Chromium (Chrome, Edge, Brave, Opera)
- Navigate to https://get.a8silo.com/launch
- Look for the Install option towards the end of the Address Bar
- Silo Cloud Browser will be available as a Desktop shortcut once installed
- Please note that a second pop-up window may open if installed from the base URL (get.a8silo.com), but should work on the subsequent installation attempt. To avoid this behavior, make sure to download the PWA directly from the launch page: https://get.a8silo.com/launch
Steps for Firefox
- Firefox requires a PWA Extension Manager in order to install and manage Progressive Web Apps, including the Silo Cloud Browser app
- Once the Firefox PWA Extension extension is installed, navigate to https://get.a8silo.com/launch to install the Silo Cloud Browser PWA
Steps for Safari (macOS)
