  • Music can be played via Widgets and Tools

There are often widgets of their favorite playlists for their website visitors, created by Spotify enthusiasts. Along with dozens of useful playlist-making sites that connect with Spotify.

  • Spotify Web Player on Chromebook

Though, you can install a Chrome app for Spotify. All it does is opens up the web app for you. Chromebooks are specifically made to use web apps. However, the installation of the app provides you the option to add Spotify to your app shelf. 

  • Third-Party Features

There are lots of Spotify third-party tools that provide extra functionality. Though Spotify killed third-party tools within the app itself. However, using the web app isn’t a necessity to let these apps connect to Spotify, there are several of them that are only then available for the web app.
