GigaOm Chrome Show: WebP v. JPG and Google Now in Chrome

Our second weekly Chrome podcast kicks off with recent reports of extremely low Chrome OS world wide market share; there’s certainly evidence pointing to the contrary! We also answer a few Chrome OS questions, share our Chrome “extension of the week” and talk about WebP images: Why is Google messing with images on the web?

Show notes

Hosts: Chris Albrecht and Kevin C. Tofel

  • Yes, Kevin, there is Chrome for Linux; thanks Scot!
  • Low Chrome OS market share around the world? There’s evidence that suggests otherwise.
  • Scott wants to remotely access a Chromebook; is that even possible?
  • Extension of the week: Black Menu. Hat tip to Mattew for pointing this one out!
  • Chris’s browser tabs keep reloading. Maybe he needs to enable zRAM.
  • What are WebP images and how can we see them?
  • Files.app in Chrome OS could use some improvements.
  • Google Now: Coming soon to Chrome?
