In January, Google said Chrome apps would stop working on Windows, Mac, and Linux this year (technically, the company set a June 2020 deadline, but it doesn’t look like it actually followed through). Now, Google says Chrome apps will work on those platforms until June 2021.
These are the ones Google is shutting down, with a final shutdown date set for 2022. But with Android apps and Progressive Web Apps at your disposal, here’s why you’ll hardly miss these Chrome Apps once they’re gone.
Previously, we knew that Chrome apps someday wouldn’t work on Windows, mac. OS, and Linux, but today, Google revealed that Chrome apps will eventually stop working on Chrome OS, too. A Chrome app is a web-based app that you can install in Chrome that looks and functions kind of like an app you’d launch from your desktop.
Dedicated applications powered by the engine behind the popular Google Chrome web browser are being phased out, with support them being discontinued fully by the end of June 2022.

What happened to the Chrome web store?
The App section of the Chrome Web Store was discontinued on Windows, Mac, and Linux in 2016, and Chrome OS is currently the only platform that supports the feature. As Chrome OS is powered and run inside the Google web browser, you already could have used many apps or services online to begin with.
