Chrome may let you try Web Store apps without installing them

Launching Chrome web apps without installing
Ever want to test a Chrome Web Store app without installing it? You may get your chance if a pair of Chromium changes reach finished software. Google is experimenting with support for "ephemeral" apps that launch like regular Web Store titles, but don't leave a footprint in Chrome or Chrome OS. Users wouldn't even have to visit the Web Store in the first place -- a recent Chromium build lets surfers launch an app directly from a Google search result page. There's no certainty that the feature will surface in a browser near you, but don't be surprised if it soon becomes easy to try a Chrome app without any commitment.
