![]() ![]() The comparison to ChromeOS to Chrome is a terrible one because Chrome showed immediate large growth. That's nearly 400% growth in a single year. Chrome was at 2.4% in May of 2009 for Browsers.Chrome was at 8.41% in May of 2010. So let's split the difference and combine the two.May 2016 – 0.46%May 2017 – 0.51%May 2018 – 0.77%That means there are roughly 14 million ChromeOS users globally against about 1.5 Billion Windows users. Which one is correct? Probably neither entirely. In reply to yosemitesam:Not really since Chrome browser showed steady growth over time – strong growth too.Chrome OS marketshare for Desktop in May of 2016, 2017, and 2018 according to NetMarketShare: May 2016 – 0.33%May 2017 – 0.29%May 2018 – 0.31%So according to NetMarketShare, peak ChromeOS was two years ago then there was a fall and a gain back of 50% of the loss.Same years from StatCounter:May 2016 – 0.59%May 2017 – 0.82%May 2018 – 1.22%So one shows growth and the other shows stagnation.

It provides a split screen mode for web and Android apps when used in tablet mode, detachable base swap detection, touch-friendly (and Android-like) power and quick settings interfaces, and more. (And, probably, on Mac and Linux too.)Ĭhrome OS 67 also supports new Chromebook form factors like tablets and detachables in a more sophisticated fashion. Thanks to PWA support, YouTube is now an app on both Windows and Chrome OS. Now, when I click on a YouTube link, the YouTube PWA opens in its own window rather than in a tab or the current window. But it works great overall already.Īnd here’s a real-world example of how this changes things. As I’ve seen in Chrome 67 on Windows (after manually enabling various PWA-related flags in chrome://flags), this behavior varies a bit by app, which I suspect is related to their manifest file.
