As part of its announcement today, Pichai said that Google would be releasing all of the operating system's code and design documents to the public.
Introduced in July, Chrome OS is a Linux-based, open-source operating system centered on Google's Chrome browser. Applications will run exclusively inside the browser, Google said Thursday.
"As of today, the code will be fully open, which means Google developers will be working on the same tree as open developers," said Pichai.
The OS's focus is consistent with the company's stance that the future is in the web. In July Google's engineering vice president spoke on a panel about app stores, in which he said native apps would be obsolete in the future.
