Google today announced plans to kill off Chrome apps for Windows, Mac, and Linux in early 2018. Chrome extensions and themes will not be affected, while Chrome apps will continue to live on in Chrome OS.

Chrome apps are web applications that run on Google’s browser. There are two types: Hosted apps (first available in December 2010) contain a single manifest file and are limited by webpage security restrictions, while packaged apps (first available in September 2013) have features similar to native desktop apps and can interact with local storage.
