CentBrowser Forum

Hi CentBrowser team, 
 I encountered the following, 
 Apps [img][/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.

-Apps do not appear here, except those URLS you manually add using "add to desktop"

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/ap...extensions
[2016] https://blog.chromium.org/2016/08/from-c...o-web.html
[2018] https://blog.chromium.org/2018/06/improv...y-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
