Chrome users may not like the idea, but, apparently, Google and Alphabet is working on dismissing the Chrome OS in the future.

According to a report from Wall Street Journal, a source said that Google is working on taking out the OS used on Chrome and its remaining programs will eventually be integrated on Android for mobile. If this is a sign that mobile is starting to dominate some few factors in the computer world, the Chrome OS being considered phased out might be a huge issue.

The news outlet also revealed the possibility of removing the Chrome OS as Google engineers are currently working on combining the two. They expect the whole project to be launched by 2017.

TechRadar reports that while it may look like an OS war between Chrome and the mobile platform, it shouldn't be taken as an imminent issue as they both cater to the same concept. Android is working on tablet productivity while Chrome enhances support for Android apps. Basically, they point to the same purpose with a slight distinction on how they are implemented. Rumors said that the combined OS workability may be introduced as early as next year, with a slated launching in 2017. However, no official statement for the release has been announced.

We can believe what we want and ignore what doesn't help, but in a recent post by the Google Chrome Blog, the company denied such rumors, saying that the Chrome OS is here to stay. According to the post, they are actually working on developing the OS for both platforms and confirmed that the Chrome OS will not be phased out. When they launched the Google Chrome six years ago, their purpose is to bring effective usage in classrooms, homes and businesses and they remain committed to that vision. Chromebooks have been the core platforms in U.S. classrooms.

They also cited how businesses such as Starbucks, Netflix, Sanmina and Google have taken advantage of Chromebook. They also took pride on the security of Chromebooks, where antivirus is a thing of the past. The company said, "Chromebooks are so secure; you don't need antivirus software!"

If Chromebook is indeed expanding, Chrome OS is far from being phased out now or even in the future. In fact, Google has already redefined the different forms of Chrome OS, such as introducing Chromebook for Work as well as integrating Android apps to the Chromebook via Apps Runtime.
