Chrome is a browser, that's all. Not sure what it will be 1-5 years from now but now it's a browser in a computer

- notatoad 14y agoChrome is a platform for running web apps, just like android is a platform for running android apps. It is literally the exact same concept, each type of app just has different strengths and weaknesses.
- mythz 14y agoYeah it's just a browser if you forget about the Custom Firmware, Custom Hardened Linux OS with auto-updating sandbox, built-in TPM support and a trusted bootpath optimized for FastBoots, customized Portage build system, Custom Window Manager, built-in media player, file manager, integration with Google Cloud Print, Chrome Shell/SSH, Chrome Remote Desktop. But it's comforting that there are people that just think of it as just another web browser - that's the whole point, just think of it as a web browsing appliance that "just works like a browser" -- even though it's not.
