Manage Your Extensions

We are often asked here at the Chromebook Nation the question, "What is the difference between a Chrome App and a Chrome Extension?"  Our simple answer is basically, an application is something that has its own UI (User Interface) and is displayed in the browser window. Whereas extensions notify and otherwise enhance the web experience. That being said, they will still need to be managed. 

STEP 1 - Open the Chrome browser.
STEP 2 - Go to the upper right hand corner and click on the icon represented with 3 lines.(Customize and Control Google Chrome)
STEP 3 - Go to Settings
STEP 4 - Go to the left hand column and click on Extensions - a list of extensions will be generated.

From here you have the option of running in a Developer Mode - this gives you a quick way to update/upgrade the current list of extensions. Extensions can also be enable/enabled allow the extensions to remain, but not run or take up space. The user also has the ability to completely delete any extension...which we suggest it you start noticing a lag in your Chromebooks operation or a web browsing hangups.
