Chrom2e (WIP)

Minimal and isolated secondary web browser for ChromeOS 140+, made use of Controlled Frame API.

Use cases

Meanwhile Chrom2e is not meant to be a replacement for the main "Google Chrome" web browser in ChromeOS, it's still useful for some cases.

• One wants to use Google products with a different account and a main account at the same time
• One wants to have a disposable web browser without touching into their main web browser
• One wants to have a clean and lean user interface for the web browser

Downsides

• Chrom2e cannot use any Chrome extension due to how IWA and Controlled Frame API was designed
• Managed ChromeOS device will require a permission from the admin in order to install this app, unless you're on personal device (unmanaged) then can be easily installed

Security

• Chrom2e is running under isolated-app://, an URL scheme for IWAs (??)
• Only https://, http:// and data: URL schemes are allowed (??)
• Every opened tabs are separated from the main app under process named Webview (??)
• Manageable browser permissions under system settings or by the admin console, including sounds, popups etc.. (??)

Planned features

• Internal pages via fake URL scheme implementation
• NoScript-like functionally
• Basic AdBlock
