What is the Difference Between an App &

an Extension?

Basically, extensions extend what Chrome can do. Google defines them as "extra features and functionality that you can easily add to Google Chrome. By using extensions, you can customize Google Chrome with features you like, while keeping your browser free of things that you don't use." To learn more about extensions, click here.

Apps are more like the programs you typically use on a computer, but they are all web-based. Some you may recognize (like Google Drive, Prezi, etc) but there are lots to explore. Some apps will just link you to a website like an even easier bookmark, others are more integrated.
