This is a question regarding security best practices:

When logging frequently onto exchanges that require 2FA for access, do you guys think it would be safe to use your go to 2FA app on desktop version rather than just using it always on a separate device e.g. mobile phone?

It seem like a bit of a convenience/security trade off to me. But I would like to have your opinion on the magnitude of possible security loss... Thank you!

Most of the people here in the forum would not recommend this, I think only Microsoft has a 2FA authenticator as an application on windows.

Google chrome plug-ins as a google authenticator is a fake one, but I've never tried the google chrome official 2fa plugins not I will not recommend it because if your computer is already compromised 2fa could easily be bypassed. Personally, I would recommend Aegis but you could still use Google Authenticator if you want to just to have a second layer of protection.

Check here for more applications that you could use and recommendations.
