Web application Desktop application
Chrome for desktop is a desktop based software. It is a web browser that opens up web pages.
Desktop software is highly regarded probably because, unlike web-based software, a web browser does not need to be opened, in order to use the software.
This is software which is stored completely on a Web server.
It depends on the type of software. Web-based application software in generic terms is software that is used through a browser that helps you in a task.
A desktop application is installed on a single desktop computer, the data is stored locally on that computer or perhaps on a network server. Other desktop applications might be installed on a network server, they are local to that network. Web applications run via a web server, the program and data are available anywhere the Internet is available.
Web applications are hosted on Web Platforms. For example: Google Chrome is a Web Platform. Google Maps is a Web Application. The browser is the platform, the interactive experience is the application.
I would think it would be an application software.

In general, web applications will not have the same available features as application software. However, as web technology and cloud-based computing becomes more popular, the differences may not be drastic.
Application software is a term used for any software that runs a program. This can be anything from a game, to a web browser, to an Office Suite. Basically, all programs are considered pieces of application software.
