The `prefer_related_applications` member is a boolean value that specifies that applications listed in [`related_applications`](/en-US/docs/Web/Manifest/related_applications) should be preferred over the web application. If the `prefer_related_applications` member is set to `true`, the user agent might suggest installing one of the related applications instead of this web app.

If omitted, `prefer_related_applications` defaults to `false`.
