In December 2010, we
announced the launch of the Chrome Web Store (Chrome Web Store), a catalog of web applications, extensions and themes for the Google Chrome browser. Then, three years ago, there were hundreds of them, today there are already tens of thousands, and the number of installations is estimated at millions.
By themselves, web applications are interactive programs that run directly from the browser. They can have a wide range of functions or perform one specific task, such as editing photos. Each of them has its own page where you can read comments, see ratings and leave your review. You can set those that you need, for example, for work, leisure, or budget planning, and also search by category. The icon of the installed application will be displayed in the browser tabs, and you will always have quick access to it. And if you work on multiple computers, you can synchronize all applications, extensions and themes using the synchronization function of the browser.

Applications have other benefits. For example, site owners who develop applications for Google Chrome often add features not available on the site itself. Some applications may even work offline: for example,
Gmail Offline will allow you to read mail and write letters even when your computer is not connected to the Internet.
