More generally, Google's 'Chrome' line (browser, Chromebooks, etc) speaks to
the worldview that everything is on the web, and hence a web
browser/laptop/etc is the minimal amount of adornment that allows you to
access all of these things.  Hence the browser is called 'Chrome' because
it's essentially the minimalist window frame through which you view the web.
In its origins in UI, 'chrome' originates from extra little trimmings like
bumpers around the main product (the car).
