Will Google let Android apps run on Chrome?
Posted on April 25, 2016 at 08:46 CDT by woody • Comment in the ForumsPaul Thurrott has an interesting take on the topic, based on a report by Ron Amadeo on Ars Technica.
The goal is simple: Allow any Android app to run on ChromeOS, or on the Chrome browser. Yes, the Chrome browser running in Windows, too.
If Google can pull it off, it’ll be a game changer.
