Desktop app? Chrome’s settings for the installed Qbit app are easy

Installed Qbit as a desktop app? Its permissions live on a Chrome settings page that browsers only let you open yourself, so Qbit does the next best thing and hands you the address, ready to paste.

Steps

1. Open the drop-down menu and tap “Desktop App Settings”.
2. Qbit copies the chrome:// address to your clipboard.
3. Paste that into your browser’s address bar and press Enter.

Tips

• This is the place to check things like notifications and microphone permissions for the installed app.
• Paste it into the address bar rather than a search box. Chrome won’t search for a chrome:// address.

Good to know

Good to know: This one’s for Chrome and Edge, and it’s handy once you’ve installed Qbit as a desktop app. If your browser blocks clipboard access, Qbit shows the address on screen so you can copy it by hand.
