Chrome OS
Browser-based operating system
Chrome OS is Google's operating system built around the Chrome web browser, designed primarily for Chromebook laptops.
Nearly everything runs through the browser or as web apps, with data stored in the cloud rather than locally.
This makes Chrome OS lightweight and fast-booting but dependent on internet connectivity.
The system emphasizes simplicity and security over the flexibility of traditional desktop operating systems.
