I think so. Sites have to be added in to tiles manually, which is OK because I love that everything is so customizable. The widgets remind me a lot of what you would find on Android. In the screenshot below, I have several of them running, including weather, notepad, calculator, tab manager, and Reddit (of course). Widgets run pretty smoothly, and they can be installed from the Chrome Web Store. Unlike widgets, most Chrome apps are just nothing more than glorified links to websites that run webapps. If you use Chrome apps, they can be added in from the apps button. I wasn’t really a fan of using wallpapers and backgrounds before, but it is really nice to have one on this particular page in Chrome.

Each tile allows either a website link or a Chrome app, but what defines it, is the ability to add custom widgets - which makes this extension more than just an add-on, it’s its own platform.
