Google Is Building a Way To Launch Chrome Apps Without Installation

Posted by timothy on Friday November 29, 2013 @11:22PM from the playing-the-long-game dept.

An anonymous reader writes "Google really wants Chrome apps to take off. Not only has the company added rich notifications, in-app payments, and an app launcher into its browser, but now it's developing ephemeral apps that launch by just clicking a link. There are two separate components here. Ephemeral apps (you can enable this under the chrome://flags/#enable-ephemeral-apps flag) let you try a Chrome app before installing it. Linkable ephemeral apps (under the chrome://flags/#enable-linkable-ephemeral-apps flag) meanwhile allow you to launch said apps from hyperlinks."

Yeah, my 4G subscription is $40 a month, includes 10GB of data, unlimited voice, SMS and MMS and two sim cards (one for the phone, one for the laptop).
