Description
Chromebooks outsell Macs. If keybase hopes to penetrate into the world of "normal" people it needs a way to do secure chat on ChromeOS. The Chrome keybase app requires an underlying keybase binary, which is only available on Linux/Mac/Windows and mobile. Would it be possible to have the chromeos app support a native client keybase binary?

Research direction
Review the Chrome keybase app and its dependency on the underlying keybase binary, then compare the platforms where that binary is currently available. Define what native ChromeOS support would require and consider how secure chat would be verified on that platform; done means ChromeOS users can use the app without an unsupported binary dependency.
