Chrome Desktop - Install app (Open as window)

I'm having a new issue when trying to create a shortcut of my apps on chrome.

Before we could open the link in the chrome browser > Menu > save and share > Create shortcut > Tick Open as window and we should have a standalone app with icon on our desktop.

Now I dont see the open as window option anymore and instead there's the install app in the search bar. The problem is it doesn't let me install the new app, instead asks if I want to open the app in one of my previously installed apps. I'm not sure if this is a chrome update or an appsheet update. If anyone has any insight on this, would greatly appreciate it.

We finally end up with Nativefier to generate windows and Mac apps. Works great :

The only issue, the apps are not "trusted" when customers install them on their side.
