Google has announce that they will be including a Chrome app launcher with future version of their Chrome browser. The new Chrome app launcher will provide the same experience as the app launcher on Chromebooks, but for other platforms.
The new Chrome App Launcher is already available on Windows says Google, and will be arriving on Mac OS X and Linux very soon. Google explains how to install the new Chrome App Launcher:
“You’ll need to install a Chrome packaged app, such as IRC client CIRC or Text Drive, in order to try out the Chrome app launcher. Chrome packaged apps deliver a native-like experience across multiple platforms with the security properties of a web page. Just like web apps, packaged apps are written in HTML, JavaScript, and CSS. But packaged apps launch outside the browser, work offline by default, and have access to powerful APIs not available to web apps.”
