- yellowapple 4y agoThat's more or less what FirefoxOS was supposed to be: ChromeOS, but with Firefox instead of Chrome and on phones instead of netbooks.
- soapdog 4y agoThat is selling it short. In ChromeOS, the browser might be front and center, but the internals of the OS are mostly normal OS stuff. FirefoxOS had JS/HTML/CSS used all around the OS itselft besides the browser app/experience. No I don't mean they used JS to write the HAL or anything like that. I'm saying that whole user-facing part of the OS is a WebView. Everything that the user interacted with was part of an HTML5-based application. The window manager, the process switcher, etc. There were custom JS APIs to handle all that. ChromeOS is quite different in that respect.
