According to Google's Chromium blog, the decision to end support for Chrome Apps was due to two factors: the relatively low usage of Chrome Apps, and the development of technology making it easier to host applications entirely from the web.
Chrome extension source code can be viewed but it can still be under a copyright license. Need to ask the extension owner about the license details.
By making Chromium open source, Google succeeded in turning almost all competing browsers into rebranded copies of Chrome and getting to set all the baseline behavior/policy that would go into them.
It looks like people will be able to see your code. If they can see your code, they can potentially use it.
C:\Documents and Settings\%USERNAME%\Local Settings\Application Data\Google\Chrome\User Data\Default\Extensions ~/Library/Application Support/Google/Chrome/Default/Extensions/ or ~/.config/google-chrome/Default/Extensions/The source code is available for inspection/debugging/experimenting & whatever people might want to do. You may try to use a JavaScript obfuscator.
