Chrome apps were supposed to have been killed off, but Google is dragging its feet
However, despite waning user numbers, the company has now extended aspects of the deprecation timeline until June 2022, in response to feedback from customers and partners.
Chrome apps for Windows, Mac and Linux devices were originally set for retirement this year, but have now been given a stay of execution until June 2021 .
Support for Chrome apps on Chrome OS devices, meanwhile, will extend until June 2022, at which point Google will also stop accepting all private enterprise listings, effectively rounding out the deprecation process.
The retirement of Chrome apps might have some users worried about their favorite Chrome Extensions, but the two are not to be confused.
