    Didn't know that Chrome was a Browser, I thought it was a Operating System

    It is, It's called ChromeOS, but how could you not know about the browser? It's been around for...oh, 17 years! It's the most popular browser out there.

    I looked at Chrome a bit trying to see if there was a Word Processor or Spreadsheet available for my use. Never found what I looked for though.

    Specifically, there is none, but you can use Google Docs and Sheets. I've used both and unless your needs are esoteric, they'll do the job nicely.

    And seriously, you need to get out of you parents basement more often. ;)

    Have a good one.

    I first used IE that came with the Dialup ISP software.
    Changed to Netscape Communicator (or Navigator) .
    Then in later years used Firefox.

    I have seen others mention Chrome but didn't know it was a Browser too.

    Last year I got a Android cellphone , it has a icon called Chrome on the main screen but I didn't know it is a browser.
    I thought it was a O/S Google made.
