The Chrome browser is rapidly gaining fans and developers are responding by creating apps that will help keep you productive in Google's browser. Add these 21 apps to a Chromebook, and you'll have great tools for working anywhere.

The latest update to the Chrome OS brought VPN and secure Wi-Fi support (802.1X), in addition to speed boosts. As more and more companies offer Web versions of popular desktop software, an Internet-only laptop like the Chromebook becomes a viable solution for a mobile workforce.
