  • You CAN log into Chrome!
  • By logging into Chrome, lots of things you customize will stay that way wherever you log in.
  • There is a Chrome Webstore that allows you to attach "Apps" and "Extensions" to your browser. These too will follow you wherever you log into Chrome!

  • Apps are "webified" software programs that install quickly from the Chrome Webstore and stay with your login account.
  • Many of the 3rd party Apps do not require you to create an account with them as they use your Google login to tie your work in their App with your Google account. So, your work and progress in that App follows you!
  • Extensions are tools that you add to your Chrome browser that enhance your Internet browsing by providing tools that can be used while browsing. An example of an extension is "Readability" which lets you save a webpage without all the clutter of adds and pictures.
