Google Hangouts Extension Now Works As a Native App
Chrome: Google has released an update for its Hangouts extension that gives it a slightly new look along with some new features.
The new version of the extension matches the design of Android and iOS apps. In addition, the extension works as a standalone application. This means it will work when it is closed and you can pin Hangouts to the dock or taskbar. If you’ve been using the now-defunct Hangouts app, the extension seems like a good replacement. You can hook the update right now.
