Instead, I think itвЂ™s time we took a look at what Chrome OS needs and where the focus should be if Chromebooks are to continue their climb to the top.

Allo*ДЄnyway, I wonвЂ™t beat that dead horse. IвЂ™m not hating but letsвЂ™ be honest, GoogleвЂ™s dropped the ball on more than one platform that should have easily been a success. That may sound a tad dramatic but we arenвЂ™t blind to GoogleвЂ™s track record with shooting itself in the foot. While weвЂ™re extremely proud of how far Chromebooks have come and thankful to have such an amazing audience for our work, the future of Chrome OS has the potential to be either a colossal success or an unforgivable failure.

Obviously, this sort of growth and consumer awareness excites us more than most because we live, eat, and breathe Chrome OS. ThatвЂ™s a monumental achievement from an OS that, not so long ago, was considered little more than a browser on cheap hardware that was only good for elementary school children. So, here were are heading into the third month of 2021, and Chrome OS has exponentially solidified its place in the world of the вЂњnew normal.вЂќ Thanks, in part, to the global pandemic that caused a massive explosion of work from home employees and remote-learning students, Chrome OS overtook macOS as the second largest operating system in terms of growth in 2020.
