Thank you for the update. I do not like the “app approach“ at all, and 
would favor an integrated solution like on iOS using ONC files. Chrome 
OS besides the Web browser is based on the FLOSS Chromium OS, so I 
wonder, why development effort is not spent on improving the native 
experience.


Kind regards,
