Xiaomi has always tried to make the Mi Browser app a de-facto option for its users, but most of them have been using third-party browsers such as Google Chrome and Samsung Internet. With the upcoming MIUI 9 Global Beta ROM 8.6.14, Xiaomi is rolling out the support for Progressive Web Apps, which will deliver a better searching experience to the users.

Progressive Web Apps was a concept introduced by Google at the I/O 2017 last year and the support has been rolled out to Google Chrome desktop app very recently. The entire PWA concept works on three factors- Reliable, Fast and Engaging. Essentially, there will be an Apps section inside the Mi Browser and the PWA will be listed over there, allowing users to access it quickly. Furthermore, PWA just looks like a standard application installed on your smartphone.
