That's ... hilarious. I'm actually excited to try this on my Chromebook which is eligible for Android/Play apps. I'm not getting my hopes up though.

Although despite Android not requiring you to just wrap the native browser, Edge on Android just wraps the native browser (unlike Firefox for Android and like Chrome for iOS)

ChromeOS on specific devices. Many ChromeOS devices don't support Android apps.

If it doesn't even support Android apps then what does it support?

They allow Firefox but it's the android version and not the Linux version so it has a different UI and you often get mobile sites when browsing.
