The project has its first victim.

This is going to get kill most of CrosKeys' functionality and is the beginning of the end for development. I expect they want everything going forward to just be an app.

@icwillwrite It's pretty shitty of Google to kill this API without providing a proper replacement. As a CrosKeys user myself I find this very disappointing. I understand your frustrations here but I am optimistic that ChromeOS will still offer unique features that you can take advantage of. Not everything has to be an Android app, even if Google has more of a bias towards them going forward. Web apps are ChromeOS's foundation though so I don't see that happening.

@kellyn I think web apps were the foundation, but maybe didn't catch on the way hoped, and now they're doing some damage control.

As an example, I've wanted to incorporate a system-level color-picker into CrosKeys for some time. There's an Eyedropper API that's been in since version 95 and works excellently on .

It still doesn't work on ChromeOS to this day in spite of bug reports and dev-rel requests.
