<![CDATA[Chrome Applications]]>Hello!

I know that you can successfully use Chrome Extensions but unfortunately you cannot use Chrome Applications (from Chrome store). Is there a workaround how to get them work in Opera? Will they be supported officially in future Opera versions?

Thanks & regards!

They are trying to make their browser different from Chrome even though they share code. While they aren't there yet the browser is yet young. They aren't trying to be just a slightly different clone of Chrome. That means maintaining compatibility with Chrome extensions and apps, especially with their much smaller dev team, would not be possible. Thats why some extensions don't work.

Other browsers not Chrome have done this, such as Slimjet, which "just works" with both extensions and apps from the Chrome store. So, this isn't some pipe dream, it's actually possible.

There are several that don't. Officially only Opera extensions work with Opera. Anything else you get on top of that is a bonus.

I don't think so.
