Chrome Apps and Extensions

To give your Chromebook more features and functionality, you can add apps or extensions.

Chrome Apps are web applications that run in your Chrome browser. A Chrome App is really just a shortcut to a website.

You can save these links as bookmarks in your navigation bar, or in the Apps section of the Chrome Browser.

Chrome Extensions are small software programs that customize the browsing experience. They enable users to tailor Chrome functionality and behavior to individual needs or preferences.

There are a number of excellent Chrome Extensions that we recommend. There are extensions that help you to record or capture your screen, work more easily with G Suite (Mail, Calendar, Drive, etc.), increase productivity, manage your browser tabs, and much more!
