Oh, a web browser extension! They are in many cases an essential part of the user experience that they provide and what we expect from them, although they are not as popular as they once were. Maybe it’s because, apart from the basic ones for every person, they don’t get that much attention anymore. But the Chrome Web Store won’t just let it die.

The Chrome Web Store, Chrome extension storebut also for almost any self-respecting web browser derived from Chrome, from Brave to Microsoft Edge, Opera or Vivaldi, it is the place to go when we need new features for our web browser, which is why it seems to have lost its pull that one day had

In other words, once we have our favorite set of extensions, and best practices suggest that the less they are used, the better, because these add-ons load the browser and can cause problems arising from using them… When we have the ones we want, he said, the it almost doesn’t even come close to the Chrome Web Store, because even if you reinstall the system or change devices, the data is synchronized immediately.

This is what the new Chrome Web Store looks like

The fact that extensions have become as much a fixture for many users as – having already picked out the ones we are interested in, it is worth repeating – apparently irrelevant, or at least lacking the traction they generated at the time, does not mean that the phenomenon is dead. Not at all. New extensions are developed every day, and the Chrome Web Store is, in the case of Chrome et al.

From there you can switch to the new interface

Google decided so It was time to update the Chrome Web Store interface and it is possible to test the new design for several weeks before it is applied to all users. And is it worth it? The truth is, yes, especially if you’ve agreed that the complements have seen better days and you’ll get there on the rebound.

Mainly because a visual update was long overdue, but also because while it somewhat retains the structure of the current Chrome Web Store, it is more accessible and not only for the novice, that too. Once inside, you’re greeted with a huge carousel that recommends core extension sets, an editor’s pick based on the extensions you already use, the best extensions of the year…

Trying out the new Chrome Web Store interface is a breeze: once you’re in, you’ll see a notification in the search bar, and a click will refresh the view, which you can return to via the Menu site. But I don’t think you want that, because the new Chrome Web Store interface looks fancy, similar in style to the Play Store, but I’d say better crafted.
