Description:
Google Chromebook will finally have a new way to organize all its apps
through App Mall.

FULL STORY ======================================================================

Although users of the best Chromebooks have access to three types of apps
web apps that run through Chromes browser, apps on the Google Play Store, and apps that run using Linux development environment they can often be disorganized and difficult to find. However, a brand-new online storefront will now make that task much easier.

According to 9to5Google , it seems Google will be launching the online tool App Mall, which will help Chromebook users find new apps. Currently, the App Mall is in early testing and is locked behind a flag in chrome://flags, but
we do know that eventually the Mall will be a link to a website discover.apps.chrome (for now the site isnt live).

So far we can assume that this new App Mall will feature Android, web, and game apps at the start since theyre already included in the built-in Explore app. Later on, we should be getting other features as well. (Image credit: 9to5Google) Google continues to enhance Chrome

This new App Mall is a feature thats been a long time coming. While there are plenty of benefits to using Chrome OS, the app system is easily the worst thing on the operating system. Its incredibly difficult to navigate and
locate the apps you want, despite the plentiful options available. Hopefully, once this new storefront opens up to the general public itll be a much-needed improvement for Chrome.

This isnt the first major improvement being made to Chrome recently either. Google improved on-device capabilities for Chrome on iOS and Android devices to show search results when your internet connection isnt at its best. It
also means that youll get better suggestions when using Incognito Mode.

Other enhancements are also coming to search, including past results influencing your current search once you reopen a tab. For instance,
searching Japchae on Google means the next time you open a new search tab it will display those search results but also People also search for
suggestions.

Google has been updating its services across the board, whether for Chrome
OS, Google search, portable devices, and more. Its nice to see the tech giant better its services by improving constantly used features or by creating new ones.
