Chrome OS is a relatively young product of the world-famous company, which has managed to gain interest and popularity among users of computer equipment. This operating system is based on cloud-based technology. In fact, it is a Chrome browser developed on the basis of Linux, which has additional features and native applications.
The announcement of the project took place in the not-so-distant 2009 year. And already in December 2010, a trial version was launched. With the announcement of the operating system, its creators promised their users speed, simplicity, security, and these became the key points (Silberschatz et al. 67). The program should run in a few seconds, the convenient Chrome OS interface must carry out a large number of requests without user intervention, and a user can forget about malware, viruses, and that’s what the developers of this system say. We’ll check to see if the reality is as promised in the Chrome OS review.
With the help of the Linux kernel, California experts introduced the world to the long-awaited project – Chromium. Its most outstanding feature and difference from others is the predominance of web applications over the usual functions of the OS. Do not compare Chrome OS review with other familiar operating systems. There are no traditional desktops, icons, or folders. The only thing suggested is the Chrome browser, which plays a major role.
In general, the approach is understandable and understandable (Silberschatz et al. 81). Google Chrome boasts both high speed and stability and one-third of all users of the World Wide Web use this browser and such successes have been achieved in six years of its existence.
Chrome OS’s primary security feature is built-in error protection. If a user adjusts a little with the system settings in the familiar OS, then he or she can enter the cycle of endless reboots, issuing a lot of errors, and so on. Chrome works differently. None of the applications a user install will affect the kernel, so there is no way to disrupt its stable operation. Since the system update occurs at each reboot, all sorts of bugs and errors are fixed quickly.
