Showing PWA icons on desktop, youtube pwa grouped with brave icon

SUMMARY
***
Hello, I'm not having a crash, but I install and use PWA's on a regular day to day basis, so I figured I would bring this up. Whenever a PWA is installed, and launched (whether from desktop or application launcher), and with an existing browser window open, instead of having it's own respective icon in the task manager, the icon of the PWA flashes briefly on the task manager before getting grouped with the browser it was installed from, thus taking the icon of the browser itself, instead of using it's own icon, though I saw it's own icon flash briefly, so I know it's there. If the browser is not open when opening a PWA, the PWA icon will take show in place of the browser icon.
***


STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Navigate to any website
2. Either click the "Install" button in URL window (if official PWA site), or
3. Click three dots in top right corner of browser window
4.  Click "More Tools", then "Add Shortcut", then ensure "Open as New Window" is selected, and click "Create"
5. Open the newly installed PWA either from desktop icon or application launcher
6. Observe icon placement/behavior in task manager

OBSERVED RESULT
- PWA does not hold it's own place in the task manager; instead it is grouped as another browser window
- PWA icon does not show in task manager if browser window is open prior to opening PWA
- PWA icon replaces browser icon if browser window isn't open prior to opening the PWA

EXPECTED RESULT
- When launched, PWA icon appears at the end of the task manager as a new program registered
- PWA has it's own icon in task manager, rather than appear as another browser window with browser icon
