Mozilla Firefox even has a detailed guide (opens in new tab) on its website that walks you through how you can install it on your Chromebook. Since Linux browsers are built to work on a computer, they’re better equipped to handle your workflow - both in terms of performance and compatibility. To truly replace Google Chrome as your go-to browser on your Chromebook, you’ll probably have better luck with a Linux app. Mozilla Firefox on Chrome is a familiar experience It can rival Google Chrome’s performance even when you’re on resource-heavy sites like YouTube and offers most of the trappings you’d expect from a browser, like cross-platform syncing as well as smooth scrolling. However, if you plan to carry out your business exclusively from a single Opera window, it won’t disappoint.
Another downside I soon discovered was that resizing or snapping it in multitasking layouts isn’t smooth either, and you’ll often be left waiting for websites to adapt to your window actions. You can’t, for instance, create multiple windows or pull out a tab from Opera to turn it into a separate window. But its Android architecture is also a double-edged sword, and it begins to show its cracks against proper desktop software once you fire up your usual web workflow on it.Īlthough Opera performs well and loads websites quickly enough on Chrome OS, it misses out on a range of desktop features you must be already used to on Google Chrome. On the surface, Opera stands out with its set of unique tools and, since it is based on its Android counterpart, it also responds better to touch inputs than Google Chrome.
