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.

    Enough has changed that all I can think is, uuugh. This is exactly my feeling. While I still consider Google to be the lesser evil out of all the big tech companies. They have been in freefall in the last decade. Just the amount of telemetries give me shivers.

    Also, it will be a license nightmare. As far as I know, Chrome OS is proprietary and actual Android has proper open source license.

      It’s only proprietary in much the same way as Android. That’s why there are forks like FydeOS.
