# eos-google-chrome-app
## Description
This package is used by EOS to package Google Chrome as a flatpak, to provide
the "client side" entry point to the sandboxed application, that knows how
to run itself from outside the flatpak sandboxed environment.
## Detailed description
This package provides a launcher script (`eos-google-chrome-app`) that will
be called by the system helper program installed in the OS as part of the
eos-google-chrome-helper package.
Adittionally, the wrapper script keeps and monitors a process running inside the flatpak
sandbox for Chrome while the browser is running, to prevent uninstalling / updating
it while running, relying on flatpak's own locking mechanisms.
