Questions tagged [google-chrome-app]
Don't use this tag for PWA or the Chrome app/binary itself! Use this tag only for apps built using Chrome App specification. Just like web apps, Chrome Apps are written in HTML5, JavaScript, and CSS, yet they look and behave like native apps, and they have native-like capabilities that are much more powerful than those available to web apps.
