What is Chrome Apps Development?

Chrome Apps development is about creating apps that run on the Google Chrome browser. These apps work like normal software on a computer but are built using HTML, CSS, and JavaScript. They can even work offline and use features like notifications and file storage.

Main Features of Chrome Apps:

Works Offline – Can be used without an internet connection. Access to System Features – Can use USB, Bluetooth, and storage. Works on Multiple Devices – Supports Windows, macOS, Linux, and ChromeOS. Secure & Safe – Runs in a protected environment to prevent security risks.
