Google Chrome OS is basically a light weight operating system designed around a web browser. The idea is that you’ll be able to do anything with a Chrome OS laptop that you can do with a web browser and a Windows or Mac laptop. But right now there’s at least one major web app that doesn’t run on Chrome OS: Netflix.

That’s because Netflix requires the Microsoft Silverlight plugin, which only runs on Windows and Mac at the moment. There’s an open source implementation of Silverlight called Moonlight, but last time I checked Moonlight doesn’t support Netflix — and Chrome OS doesn’t support Moonlight, so the point is kind of moot.

But the folks at The Chrome Story found some Chrome OS code reviews suggesting that an official Netflix plugin for Chrome OS is in the works.

Neither Google nor Netflix has made any official announcements, but it looks like a plugin is being tested on some pre-release devices, but not the Google Cr-48 laptop, which may be an indication that this is supposed to be a secret. After all, there are already thousands of Cr-48 laptops in the wild, so it’d be hard to keep a lid on the plugin if it were pushed to that device.
