I don't see the point of it. The time of browser based "operating systems" about ten years ago has long gone. And even back then the whole idea was quickly scrapped again.

This is pretty rad. It's either a convincing simulacra of a linux, or it's a linux? or is there a difference?!

This is doing my head in, maan.

[irascible → irascible]

Heheh tricked me. I think it's a resume!

Blank for me in Chrome 36.0.1985.125

[denniskane → voltagex_]

I'm running 40.0.2214.111. I never would have thought to test it on 36!

EDIT: I wouldn't even know HOW to test it on 36... (where do they keep those old ones?)

Maybe you can get an older version from here ?

Sorry, silly $EMPLOYER policies.

[denniskane → voltagex_]

I would think that an $EMPLOYER that doesn't want to keep things up to date would insist on something like $MSIE7 rather than $CHROME36, haha!

I see the desktop. But what I really wanted was to install Google Chrome on that Desktop.

Why doesn't this work on Firefox?

Seems to be working fine in my Firefox 36 on Ubuntu 14.10.
