What is the Difference?
Apps
- an application that you run inside your Google Chrome browser, it has a dedicated user face and a little more rich and interactive than just a website. (Although some of the Chrome apps are links to websites!)
- generally no additional software to download onto your computer, there may be small components, but these will only make a difference when you are using that particular web app.
Extensions
- EXTEND the functionality of Google Chrome and the websites being viewed.
- E.G. you can extend Google Chrome by adding a voice to text feature. This automatically places a microphone icon in any search field or fillable box within various websites. Once you click the microphone you can talk to your computer and it will do the typing!
