Chrome OS: Ready for Web Development
summary
Chrome OS claims native support for web, Android, and Linux apps and demonstrates it by running Debian-based Linux containers (Crostini) inside a lightweight VM, with apt installs of Node, VS Code, and running Squoosh from a local server. The demo shows port forwarding, an ADB bridge to an Android browser, and live remote debugging between containers, plus device form‑factor support on Pixelbook/Pixel Slate.
