Hi there…
I am working in a project of Educational Technology + EndLess. On this sense, I use LabCamera software, but, despite there is no Linux version, there is a web version for Chrome.
Is there any way to use Chrome in EndLess?
Hi Neil, the endless web browser is a version of Chromium (the open source version of Chrome) so things that work in Chrome should keep on working. If it doesn’t do let us know and we’ll see what we can do.
You can’t install Chrome directly from Google in Endless (we use a different way of packaging applications which they don’t yet support) but that’s something we’re very keen on working with them to enable.
Hello Nick…
Thanks for the comments. Precisely, the software LabCamera doesn’t work in the browser od EndLess, but it works in Chrome and I can not see the problem, just after the installation of LabCamera for Chrome, the buttons doesnt work.
I test LabCamera on others OS with Chrome and there is no problem.
(Chrome version)

Could you help me?
Hi there,
Yes, I’ve investigated myself and I see that we’re not shipping the Native Client (or NaCL) technology that this extension requires. I’ll ask around internally as to why but I suspect it won’t be a terribly easy fix since there’s a bunch of stuff you need to bring along to make that work.

May I help on that task?
Hi Neil,
There’s a couple of things you can do that might help, depending on how familiar you are with programming. The upstream Chromium project has an issue to evaluate using flatpak themselves for Chome: https://bugs.chromium.org/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=622061 you could go there and star that. Don’t just sign in and leave a comment to say +1 though, the Chrome programmers find all the extra email they get from that annoying!
Otherwise, the source code for our copy of Chromium is here: https://github.com/endlessm/chromium-browser but I fear that most of the work to enable this is in the build process, which you have to work for Endless to modify.
