[Possible Bug] Apps not appearing on chrome://apps/ or New-Tab>Apps - CentUser - 06-29-2018
Hi CentBrowser team,
I encountered the following,
Apps [img]
![[Image: 3avtXgR.jpg]](https://i.imgur.com/3avtXgR.jpg)
[/img] do not appear on new-tab[Picture] or chrome://apps/ [Picture]Unless I manually add URLS with the add to desktop function.
Yet on the new tab page, Most visited and Popular are functioning perfectly, whilst Apps is still non-functional
Perhaps this a result of user error (wrong configurations/switches enabled/disabled in main settings menu).
It would be helpful if someone could clarify what I'm doing wrong here,
or suggest a manual workaround
Thank you very much for your time.

Thanks for your feedback.
This is probably normal case, because Google is deprecating Apps.

I'm still new to chromium, I think I made a mistake saying apps instead of extensions.
I was reading
[2010] https://developer.chrome.com/webstore/apps_vs_extensions
[2016] https://blog.chromium.org/2016/08/from-chrome-apps-to-web.html
[2018] https://blog.chromium.org/2018/06/improving-extension-transparency-for.html
and since I'm new I can't tell if google is deprecating apps and/or extensions aswell.
Maybe a workaround would be possible if I knew how to launch extensions via a url, then add that url to new-tab page or chrome://apps/
through the add to desktop function
Anyway if I can't figure it out soon, I'll have to reluctantly switch browsers to get that functionality

Extensions can't be listed in chrome://apps.
chrome://apps is container of Apps.

That was a pretty fundamental misunderstanding on my part.
I'll be sure to keep the relationship between code and containers in mind for the future.
Thank you for the correction,
going forward I suppose I'll stick to organising extensions on the toolbar
