The Google Chrome Dev update added a brand new feature to the already stacked up Google Chrome! With the latest update Google Chrome Dev now supports Applications (aka Apps).
Note: For this you need the Google Chrome Dev version.
They are not enabled by default, so to enable them you must add a command to your Google Chrome shortcut. To do this right-click your existing Google Chrome shortcut either on your desktop or start menu. In the target field append --enable-apps to the end of the address.
Your properties panel should now look similar to this:
After enabling apps restart Google Chrome and open it from your modified shortcut.
Congratulations Apps are now enabled on your Google Chrome!
Now let’s add some apps! You can download apps from here:

Because of security reasons you can’t just open the .crx file to install. You must drag the file inside the Google Chrome Window. You will then be prompted with two install dialogues.
Just accept both and there you go! You just installed an App!
