Chromium OS doesn't seem like a particularly good fit for the form factor and Android already runs Chrome, so I'm not sure I understand the effort, but I guess it's a neat hack.
- randomfool 14y agoI sort of like the approach of Chromium OS and Boot to Gecko. I don't know how useful this particular project is, but I'm interested in how the end result works. Theoretically, the newer HTML5 extensions are getting these closer to native apps in terms of features, so let's see how they do!
- MatthewPhillips 14y ago> Android already runs Chrome It runs a browser that is a fork of Chromium and shares the Chrome branding, but Android Chrome is not Chrome.
- drivebyacct2 14y agoI thought/think they're pretty darn close. And I continually see signs of feature parity and moves towards enabling more of Chrome in Chrome for Android.
- bryanlarsen 14y agoThe biggest thing missing from Chrome for Android IMO is plugins. I hope they bring those over soon. I'm seriously thinking of switching to Firefox for Mobile just for this reason, even though I'd probably have to write/port the extensions I want myself.
- tadfisher 14y agoI really hope you mean extensions and not that NPAPI crap.
- abraham 14y agoChrome is just Chromium with some additional features and different branding. So yes Chrome for Android is just as much Chrome as Chrome is.
- abraham 14y agoChrome/ium OS has been experimenting with more touch friendly interfaces so it might work better in that form factor soon.
