Google said that in May, the popularity of Chrome OS rose to 92%. As a result, the operating system is expanding five times faster than the growth rate of the PC market. According to Google, this makes Chrome OS the fastest growing operating system in the world. According to the search engine, the popularity of the OS is largely due to the desire of people to use their usual mobile applications on the computer.
The launch of Android 12L shows that Google is working hard to improve the experience of using the company's OS and applications developed for it on large screen devices such as tablets and laptops. The search engine currently offers Chrome OS for laptops. Today in its blog, the company announced that users of this operating system in 2021 used Android applications 50% more often than a year earlier.
Today's Google blog post also lists all the recent innovations that make it possible to use Android apps more efficiently in Chrome OS. These include the implementation of Android 11 application support, improved Android application window management, low-delay stylus support, and the implementation of Nearby Share features in Chrome 96 and later.
Google has said that in 2022 it will provide Chrome OS software developers with "additional recommendations and new easy-to-use tools."
