“Chrome apps are basically apps that run within Google’s Chrome web browser, and some look and act like stand-alone apps. There are a number of apps available, including the likes of Hangouts, Google Keep, an so on,” de Looper reports. “Chrome needs to be running and open in order for these apps to work, even if they seem like standard apps.”

“Google’s decision comes as part of an effort to make Chrome a little simpler. For example, Google removed the app launcher, which allowed users to access Chrome apps, from Chrome in the past few months,” de Looper reports. “The apps won’t disappear immediately. Google has a plan to get rid of the apps over the next two years.”
