Google has simplified the app/extension installation process--when you hover over an image on the store page, it morphs into a screen with an "add to Chrome" button on it. Just click "add" and your app or extension will be installed.

To learn more about an app, you can click on its image. A page will pop up containing screenshots, video, and a description of the app or extension. You can also add the app from this page, by clicking the "add to Chrome" button.

In addition to cosmetic changes, Google has introduced some new apps at the Chrome Web Store. There's Robot Nation, which lets you design your own robot and bring it to life if you have a 3D printer; two new games, and ; and there's a new for shopping at that auction site.
