6 months ago @admin-elvistrujanovic @jonm58 No, this is due to the fact that M112 and above no longer support Chrome Apps, and M120 and above no longer support NaCl (Native Client), which is needed for most Chrome Packaged Apps to work properly. And I don't mean just "don't support", I mean the code for this stuff was purged from the source code.
Also, chrome_pwa_launcher is now only used for progressive web apps, or extensions that need "background mode" support, i.e. to run on Windows startup, or to hang around after the main browser is closed.

Could just that code that was responsible for supporting and running chrome packaged apps and NaCI be ported from M112 to M120+ so that support can be implemented into Supermium

6 months ago @admin-elvistrujanovic Well, it turns out that the code for both Chrome Apps and NaCl wasn't entirely removed. They just removed the parts of it relevant to Linux, Windows, and MacOS. ChromiumOS/ChromeOS still supports both, so the code to run these is still present, just all of the bindings and UI stuff to run it on platforms other than ChromeOS has been removed. So maybe @win32ss could restore it. It would be a nice addition. I have my own chrome app that I made called Cog > https://chromewebstore.google.com/detail/cog-system-info-viewer/bkapefioegaebnkbjpfbbemmmcholeii which I now can't install on anything but ChromiumOS. Tis frustrating.

What will happen if we take Chrome/Chromium browser (and all it's libraries/dependencies) from an ChromeOS/ChromiumOS x86_64/amd64 rootfs image and tries to execute it on an linux x86_64 - will the app start and will chrome apps and NaCI will work after that - if it can work after that, there could be some possibility of porting that code to other desktop platforms like linux, windows and MacOS
