You have to make them download the app and agree to elevate. It's 
not going to be useful for content-based websites, but it 
definitely has potential in areas where a download 
would've/could've been necessary anyways e.g. music/video/image 
editing, phone calls, file sharing, productivity, games, etc.

It really depends on how appealing it makes your application. If 
your offer beats competition by far, a download won't be regarded 
as disruptive.
