We first heard back in November that Google could merge Chrome OS into Android. Now, an executive has publicly confirmed plans for a merger.

Sameer Samat, president of Android ecosystem at Google, asked a TechRadar journalist why they were using an Apple Watch, iPhone, and MacBook:

I asked because we’re going to be combining Chrome OS and Android into a single platform, and I am very interested in how people are using their laptops these days and what they’re getting done.

    Unless they ban installations from 3rd party stores, I don’t see how that can happen.

    You could always install firefox from F-Droid

    With the EU’s Digital Markets Act, I think its gonna be quite difficult to ban 3rd party installations, I mean unless they pull an apple and make 2 versions of the OS for EU vs rest of the world?
