Issue descriptionUserAgent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/63.0.3239.84 Safari/537.36 Steps to reproduce the problem: 1. User reads http://www.omgchrome.com/not-joke-google-killing-chrome-apps/ "It's important to stress that Chrome extensions are not being discontinued. You can continue to find, install and use extensions." 2. User checks chrome://apps/ . 3. User checks chrome://extensions/ . User notices chrome://extensions/ apparently includes some items listed in chrome://apps/ . However there is no indication in chrome://extensions/ which items are apps, and which are extensions. Therefore on all apps listed in chrome://extensions, please add the word "APP" after the name. Currently the only way figure out which items on chrome://extensions are apps and which are not, is to visit chrome://apps and see if the item is listed. I have confirmed doing that gives the correct results double checking on each item on chrome://extensions 's: Details >> View in store These say LAUNCH APP on https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/line/menkifleemblimdogmoihpfopnplikde https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/authy/gaedmjdfmmahhbjefcbgaolhhanlaolb These say ADDED TO CHROME on https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/location-guard/cfohepagpmnodfdmjliccbbigdkfcgia https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/adblock-plus/cfhdojbkjhnklbpkdaibdccddilifddb What is the expected behavior? What went wrong? Apps and Extensions all jumbled together with no way to tell which is which. WebStore page: Did this work before?

OK then I think it would be a good idea to put such a warning, in red, next to such affected items in chrome://extensions , and even chrome://apps/ .

Able to reproduce the issue on reported chrome version 63.0.3239.84 and same behaviour is seen on M50 (50.0.2661.0) as well, as per comment#0, considering this issue as feature request hence marking it as untriaged. Thanks!
