Google Chrome is our favorite web browser, and apps from the Chrome Web Store make it even better.
What are Chrome apps, you ask?
They are Chrome-optimized versions of websites with interactive features, and they are also complex editing tools, games, and more.
Chrome apps are basically entire web experiences built into one browser tab in Chrome.
Also, Chrome apps are a testament to everything you can accomplish with HTML 5, and everything you'll be able to do with a Chromebook coming this June.
Skip the native apps on your computer and switch to Chrome apps instead. Many popular desktop apps like Tweetdeck, Evernote, photo editing programs, and more have already made the switch.
Super Mario Bros
Need a retro gaming fix? Super Mario Bros Crossover for Chrome
We just tried it, and it plays like a dream. It's the original Super Mario Bros, and you can even play as other game characters like Link (from the Legend of Zelda), Mega Man, and Samus Aran.
Use the keyboard to control Mario, and all the old school sound effects are included as well.
Price: free
Rdio
Rdio's streaming music app is a souped of version of Rdio's website
Rdio is one of the coolest new ways to stream online music. $4.99/month on Rdio buys you unlimited music listening on your iPhone and computer.

my opinion on chrome store apart from games all the rest are just like bookmarks. i mean they are not "apps" you can access the exaxt same thing from typing the url. I don't get why new york times made an app.
What is the difference then between a Chrome App and just going to a url?
Ge.tt and Springpad: yes please. Thanks for the recommendations!
i feel the same, just go to url. i guess they'll be adding as it matures..
There can be code specifically to recognize Chrome in the website (URL), and, it may have big differences from code designed for other browsers. For example, many sites look for Internet explorer 6, and execute code specifically for the old version. That's not to say that they all do, or will, but developers can write code specifically for platform within the web site. Safari on the mac is a good example: some sites that work just fine in windows using ie, firefox, opera, etc; may or may not work using safari on windows or mac os x.What is the difference then between a Chrome App and just going to a url?
