Summary

Adds a new advanced field to the web manifest, "display_override", where a developer with special requirements can specify an explicit display fallback chain they would like applied. Here's an example of a website that wants "minimal-ui" to fall back to "standalone". { "display": "standalone", "display_override": ["minimal-ui"], } Note: This API is only intended to be used for advanced use cases & display modes only. Most developers will only need to use the "display" property.

Interoperability and Compatibility
