What Are Chrome Apps?
Web apps are applications, such as Gmail, that you use by accessing a website. This type of application differs from a standard one, which is loaded directly onto a computer. Standard applications were more common in the early years of personal computing, prior to widespread internet use. Web apps, in turn, have become replaced by “progressive web apps” (app-like web pages), which is why Google removed all apps from the Google Web Store in 2017 and declared them obsolete.
Extensions Boost Chrome Functionality
An extension is a small program that downloads a CRX file to your computer. The extension is saved to a specific location in the Chrome installation folder, you can’t choose where to save it. Chrome extensions change the way the Chrome browser operates. For example, Full Page Screen Capture takes a screenshot of an entire web page. After installing the extension, use the feature with any website you visit because it’s installed in the browser. Another example is the Ebates extension, which finds deals online. It runs in the background and checks for price savings and coupon codes when you visit a shopping site.
