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.

A web browser is typically considered a web application. It runs on the internet, allowing users to access websites and web-based content. While it does have an interface similar to window applications, its primary function is to interact with online content. It relies on web technologies like HTML, CSS, and JavaScript.
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.
