Google has been pushing a lot of effort making Chrome your new home. Despite some memory hog, battery drain issue, it is a web standard for the time being the same way IE was in its day. To me, merging Android and Chrome OS would be an inevitable path for Google and they've done a wonderful job running and APK on Chrome with [Arc Welder](https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/arc-welder/emfinbmielocnlhgmfkkmkngdoccbadn)

It's compatible with Kitkat runtime. It's fast unlike snail-like Android emulator no one uses. I bet if Arc Welder project supports everything it would be a dream all developers seek for a way for debugging app. Try for yourself.

It was a big download, so be patient. It's worth wait for I'm sure of it.
