Chrome by Google has rapidly grown to emerge as one of the most significant players in the browser market. What sets it apart from other browsers is the availability of apps that augment standard web experiences and functions to enable an experience similar to tablets and mobile devices. The Chrome Challenge began a couple of months ago, where participants were required to build an app and submit it to the Chrome Web Store at https://chrome.google.com/webstore. All participants who submitted a valid app will be contacted shortly by Digit to inform them of their assured prizes.
