How To Uninstall Chrome Apps or Extensions
Google recently rolled out the Chrome Web Store through which users can download several new Chrome Apps and Google Chrome Extensions. There are tons of cool apps out there out of which we reviewed few including TweetDeck, Distraction Free Writing and some Note Taking and Sticky Notes App.
If you went on a app installing spree, the new tab page feels a bit cluttered. However, you can uninstall Chrome Apps or Extensions easily without having to break your head.
To uninstall an Chrome App that you installed, open a new tab and scroll till you see the app you want to uninstall. Now, right click on that app, and click on "Uninstall" from the available options. Click on the "Uninstall" button in the popup window and the app will be removed. The good thing is that if you use Chrome Sync, the app will be removed across the board on all the computers you use.
To uninstall an extension in Google Chrome, Click on the Settings icon and then click on Extensions from the Tools sub-menu. This will take you to the extensions page, alternatively you can just type chrome://extensions in the browser address bar. On the extensions page, you will see all the installed extensions. You can either disable an extension or remove it entirely by clicking on the available links below the extension description.
Have fun and do try out new extensions and apps that Chrome Web Store.

Is there a way to uninstall all webapps/ extensions?
I wish someone would develop a browser login window for chrome sync for public machines so that when you leave the machine it automatically removes all extensions/ apps, but when you login again it simply populates them all again along with your passwords, etc.
I use dozens of public computers every week and like to have all my extensions/ apps on screen. It is really simple to login to chrome sync .. but NOT simple to logout and have all private data deleted.
