If you like coding and developing, this is likely going to be your best bet for exploring what makes Chrome OS tick. Like Chrome the browser, Chrome-the-OS has a freely available open-source sibling, called Chromium OS. On the other hand, if you love Chrome, then Chrome OS is a big heaping helping of Chrome with some extra Chrome on the side and more Chrome for dessert. Updates made since then have given Chrome OS users better file format support, faster navigation, revised menus, dramatically improved offline abilities, and a traditional-looking desktop.īut if you loathe the Chrome browser, it's still highly unlikely that you'll enjoy this operating system.
Google's operating system started off in December 2010 as being little more than all Chrome, all the time.
