  • Chrome OS will soon start using large portions of Android’s tech stack.
  • The move is meant to accelerate the pace at which AI features can roll out to Chromebooks.
  • The changes are being made now, but the updates won’t be ready for a while.

The Chrome OS you know today is about to go through a major change. In the future, the software that powers Chromebooks will be much more like Android.

Google announced in a new blog post that Chrome OS is about to go through a transformation. Specifically, the tech giant says that the OS will soon start “embracing portions of the Android stack, like the Android Linux kernel and Android frameworks.”
