With the help of the Chrome Web Store, users can now search for and add new apps, extensions and themes across a variety of categories to its web browser Chrome. Additionally, in an attempt to make the store even more relevant for the Indian consumers, starting today, they will be able to access a range of new applications from Indian developers and publishers too.

The apps are available in various categories that include Education, Entertainment, Family, Games, Lifestyle, News & Weather, Productivity, Shopping, Social & Communication and Utilities. Chrome has also provided a search bar which can be used to search for relevant content (apps, extensions and themes) by the users. This will come in handy if you are looking for something specific.
