Every good operating system needs a web browser, especially as more and more apps move to the web. To that end, Google is preparing to bring the full
Google Chrome browser experience to Fuchsia OS.[1]
This was inevitable, of course. As the article notes, Fuchsia already has the Chrome engine to display web content if needed, and now they are bringing the whole actual browser over as well. Just another step in the long journey to replace the underpinnings of Android and Chrome OS.
Google’s homegrown Fuchsia operating system has taken another step closer to being broadly usable by gaining the full Google Chrome browser experience[1]. […]
It’s been possible to access the web in a very limited way on Fuchsia for quite some time now via the operating system’s “Simple Browser” app – which
was powered by the Chromium engine under the hood. While usable, this “browser” didn’t offer the usual necessities like an address bar or tabs.
Mid last year, we reported[2] that Google had begun efforts to bring the full Chrome browser experience to Fuchsia. As first spotted[3] by oldschool-51 of Fuchsia’s Reddit community, these efforts have come to fruition in recent days, with Simple Browser being replaced in Fuchsia’s app list with “Chromium.”
It’s steps like these that show that Google is serious about Fuchsia. For whatever that’s worth[4].
