New Android leader Sundar Pichai has dismissed rumors that Google’s Internet browser Chrome will merge with smartphone operating system Android, stating that the deal is not likely for at least a year or two and that the two will stay independent “for the short term.” Several months ago Pichai became the leader for both Android and Chrome, sparking rumors that the two would soon become one. The remarks were made in an interview preceding Google I/O’s opening keynote, scheduled for Wednesday.
