Extensions on the other hand will often install a small "plugin" to the browser to enable some feature that can be used on almost any webpage. Sometimes there may be an application and an extension from the same company that can be used. The application may be a shortcut to the company's website and the extension may add a feature that can be used at almost any time.

An example of this might be EasyBib. The application, when added, will take you directly to the EasyBib webpage. But, the extension, when clicked, will help you create a citation for a bibliography from whatever webpage you are viewing.

Students may not be able to access all of the applications and extensions from the Chrome Web Store. There is a formal approval process needed in order to have an application and/or extension added to the Student Chrome Web Store.
