On celebrating the wonderful 5th birthday Google launched a new feature to the Chrome users and it is a "new breed of Chrome Apps" and is described as For Your Desktop.

Chrome is popular for its online add ons especially the ones associated with Chrome Web store. Now Google is trying to make a change on the ongoing trend of working online with web based applications and tries to wipe out the border lines with the online apps and the traditional desk top applications. The apps in “For Your Desktop” section do not require an internet connection once it is downloaded to your desktop. They can be used in offline mode.
