Calling ChromeOS users slow is certainly uncalled for, so I’m not defending the previous poster. Still, I don’t think we should encourage development on ChromeOS.

Google themselves do everything possible to make the platform hell to develop on and for, including breaking Google Cloud Code signin in Jetbrains IDEs, making it impossible to use Flutter Web in Android Studio without a second browser installed in the VM, and preventing gpu access in the VM.

The Android dev experience is better on a Windows or Mac, too, since the Android environment runs in a vm on objectively worse hardware than any modern windows or Mac of comparable price.

I can see why you enjoy ChromeOS (I do/did too), but I think Google is too dumb a company to run a true desktop platform.

• ProWritingAid (Grammar Checker)
• Volume Master (Boosts tab audio)
• Chrome Remote Desktop (Obvious)
• Honey & Rakuten (Coupons and Cashback)

I also use a Chromebook, so I use these “native” extensions I developed.

• CrosKeys (Launcher, Clipboard Manager, Scripting, basically a Rofi replacement)
• CrosPaper (Wallpaper/Screensaver Manager)
• CrosManager (System Manager)

I hate it too. It looks too much like a Fisher-Price toy.
