Chrome apps can be obtained from the Chrome Web Store where apps, extensions, and themes can be installed or bought.

There are two types of apps,

hosted

and packaged,

which have different locations of their executable and are targeted at different use cases

On August 19, 2016, Google announced that it would begin phasing out Chrome Apps for Windows, Mac and Linux (both packaged and hosted) by the end of 2016, finishing the process in early 2018

The company said that such apps will, however, continue to be supported and maintained on Chrome OS “for the foreseeable future”

On January 15, 2020 Google announced that Chrome will begin phasing out support for Chrome Apps across all operating systems starting in March 2020, with support for Chrome OS available until June 2021

(changed to ‘july 2022’)

Types of apps

Chrome apps can be hosted or packaged

hosted apps

Hosted apps have their background web pages on a remote server and the app acts like a bookmark or shortcut;[5]

packaged apps have off-line functionality making use of local storage

Packaged apps

Packaged apps were launched on September 5, 2013.[6]

They have features very similar to a native desktop app, namely

offline capable (by default),

can interact with hardware devices,

and can access local storage

Packaged apps are not confined to the regular Chrome interface and can display without a classic window menu and operating system user interface elements

Hosted apps

Hosted apps are the original type of Chrome apps.

They contain a single manifest file that contains the URL and additional information about the app.

Hosted apps are usually offline and are subject to regular web page security restrictions
