-While Microsoft is currently working to bring extensions to its still barebones Edge browser on Windows 10, Google plans to streamline its Chrome browser in the coming months. The company announced yesterday that it will soon get rid of its Chrome app launcher on Windows, Mac OS X and Linux as it found that users “prefer to launch their apps from within Chrome”.
If you’re not familiar with it, the Chrome app launcher automatically installs as soon as you install a Chrome app from the Chrome web store (Chrome apps are glorified web apps that try to deliver an experience comparable to a native app). The Chrome app launcher uses a Start menu-like UI, and while it perfectly makes sense on Chrome OS as these are the only kind of apps that the OS can run, the launcher never made a lot of sense on other desktop operating systems.

I am a chrome user and have 30-40 extension (apps) I use all the time. But I don't have a clue what the author is talking about. So I guess I will not miss it LOL
Neither do I.. just a wall of text.I am a chrome user and have 30-40 extension (apps) I use all the time. But I don't have a clue what the author is talking about. So I guess I will not miss it LOL
I don't use Chrome at all
But thought it was well worth posting in case anyone did use it that way
Its like the Start Menu, but for Chrome apps
you click the app launcher and it shows all your apps, click one and chrome opens the app up
I use it all the time, it's such a timesaver. I'll have to find a replacement
Sounds like the app launcher on OSX. . .really like app launcher will have to give this a try. . .
Very seldom I use Chrome, so it will not affect me. Hope those that use it find a work around.
7 Stacks seems to work on W10 although you don't get the nice transparency you get on W7.
Thanks for the tip.. I'll check this out later on today.7 Stacks seems to work on W10 although you don't get the nice transparency you get on W7.
