Chrome app launcher to retire in July
Starting in a few weeks, users will be no longer able to use the launcher when first installing the Chrome app. The company will soon inform anyone who currently has the launcher with a notice saying that the launcher will be going away.
Google on Tuesday announced that it will soon kill its Chrome app launcher for Windows, Mac, and Linux. Confirming the news, Marc Pawliger, Engineering Director, in a blog post explained that while the app launcher helped easily open Chrome apps outside the browser, Google found that users on Windows, Mac, and Linux preferred to launch their apps from within Chrome.
"With Chrome's continued emphasis on simplicity and streamlining browser features, the launcher will be removed from those platforms. It will remain unchanged on Chrome OS," added Pawliger. The removal process will take several months, and the company will be starting by removing the existing instances of the launcher in July.
Starting in a few weeks, users will be no longer able to use the launcher when first installing the Chrome app. The company will soon inform anyone who currently has the launcher with a notice saying that the launcher will be going away. Users can still access Chrome apps by clicking the apps shortcut in the bookmarks bar or typing chrome://apps in the omnibox.
