As per some new developments spotted by Techtsp, Google Chrome users will soon be able to experience Android-like native web sharing experience on Windows 10 and ChromeOS devices. Google Chrome’s Web Share API integration into Windows 10 and ChromeOS will help the company bridge the native app gap to a significant extent.

Web apps on the desktop including progressive web apps (PWAs) will benefit from Web Share API, further allowing Windows 10 users to share links to other apps just like any other native app. Simply put, the Web Share API will provide websites and web apps with native sharing capabilities. As a result, websites can share links, text, and files to other apps installed on your Windows 10 PC, similar to Android.
