Just like I have thought, nothing really change for the developer, still the ‘peanut’ download for me. Have you been to the new Chrome Web Store yet? If so, what do you think of it? Desktop users will miss sorting options as well as options to change the display of the listings. You find big thumbnail images in most categories that are easy to tap on. The new Chrome Web Store layout and design looks as if it was optimized for touch based devices. The only extension listings that you get are curated by Google or displayed after searches. It is for instance no longer possible to identify new extensions in the store as you cannot display those anymore. It does not seem to be possible anymore to sort the extensions or apps by popularity, last update or other metrics which limits the usability of the listing tremendously. The listing pages load additional apps and extensions automatically when you scroll down eliminating the need to switch pages manually.Įxtensions and themes are the only two categories with sub-listings. Reviews have been moved to their own tab in the overlay so that it takes additional clicks to access those compared to the previous layout of the Chrome web store. the page includes an overview, both ratings and user counts, details, reviews and thumbnails. When you move the mouse cursor over a thumbnail you will see a short description and a button to add it directly to the Chrome browser.Ī click on an application opens the application's page in an overlay on the same page. It feels rather strange that some applications show ratings while others show the user count instead. The family category for instance uses small icons instead of thumbnails so that more applications fit on a single page.Įach application or extension listed is displayed with its name and either a rating or the number of users. First the sidebar menu linking to application categories, extensions and themes for the Chrome web browser, then the main area with big thumbnail images and little information about each application, theme or extension and then the search to find specific items in the store. The layout of the page has been streamlined to display a minimalistic listing of apps, extensions and themes.
