With this continued progress, we are expanding upon our earlier announcement and will begin phasing out support for Chrome Apps across all operating systems as follows:

We are confident that the Web can deliver first class experiences on an open platform. The progress of modern browsers puts the Web in a good position to answer the vast majority of use cases - evident in the success of companies like Figma and our own products like Google Earth. As community members, we continue to work with other browsers and invest to bring rich new capabilities to the platform, as seen in the announcements made at the Chrome Developer Summit last November.

The web platform has made substantial progress since the launch of Chrome Apps in 2013. Note: The timeline has been updated, please see our October 2021 post for more details.
