Chrome for Windows, Mac, and Linux can now Run Android Apps

1024px-Chrome_Logo You probably already know that you can run Android apps on your Chromebook, but did you know that you can now run Android applications on your desktop PC through Chrome? If you download a custom version of the Android Runtime extension named ARChon, you can package an unlimited number of AndroidAPKs using the chromeos-apk tool.


Unfortunately, if you’re technologically challenged, this will be no easy feat. You’ll need some familiarity with the command line prompt of your system, along with general knowledge about manually installing APKs. Lastly, since this is a relatively new feature, expect it to be unstable and buggy. However, it’s progress towards being able to run all of your favorite mobile apps on your desktop. If you’re wondering if your favorite application will work, and don’t feel like being a pioneer, check out the Chromeapk subreddit to see how well popular apps work with the tool.
