Adoption was so low that Google originally announced in 2016 that Chrome apps would stop being supported on Windows, macOS and Linux because only one percent of users had installed them. Google's timeline got muddled, and Chrome apps were spared for several more years, although the Chrome apps section of the Chrome Web Store was removed in late 2017. Google's mercy didn't help these 'Chrome Packaged Apps', and now we know when they'll disappear for good. If you're a Windows, macOS or Linux user, then you probably don't use Chrome apps because installing them became impossible when they were removed from the Chrome Web Store. That leaves Chrome OS users, or those who own Chromebooks. Even if you fall into this group and use Chrome apps regularly, there's a good chance those apps can be found in a different format, like an Android app or a Chrome extension. If not, some of these apps will redirect you to a website where you can use them as traditional web apps. In the end, killing Chrome apps won't have a major impact on how the large majority of users experience the web.
