Chrome Web Store gets a welcoming brand new look

We all should agree that Google has been really busy lately in UI improvements among all Google products.  A similar activity can be noticed on the Chrome Web store too.  Chrome Web Store now has a very clean and welcoming new look.  Things look more organized and it is easy to see the popular extensions - Be it games, utilities or productivity related apps.

Below are some of the improvements you will quickly notice:

  1. The Chrome Web Store has a brand new look which is very beautiful and feature rich while being minimal.
  2. Apps and extensions now appear in a wall of images which keep rotating.
  3. Apps are now easier to install - just hover the mouse over an image and click "Add to Chrome"
  4. Get entire information about the app/extension by clicking on its image.  A panel of information shows up with images, video and other information.
  5. Apps that are already installed will show a Green check mark on its image.
  6. At the same time, now the reviews are linked to Google+ profiles of the reviewers.
