What in this context does "help the desktop forward" mean?

I think there’s a difference between desktop and mobile. Maybe you’re talking about mobile here?

Thanks, I see what you mean now. I didn't get it because I use a mobile platform as desktop, but that's not generally true (so far).

I'm curious to know whether there's a difference if you break it down into mobile vs desktop users.

:) These days "desktop" = non-mobile = non-smartphone/non-tablet.

on desktop as it is on mobile.

How is this a desktop client and mobile at the same time?

Since "desktop" as a platform includes laptops, which have pretty similar connectivity issues as mobile devices, that's really not true.

There's a radio button that lets you decide between Mobile, Desktop, or both.

"desktop" is shorthand for "desktop OS," which includes laptops.

That's how people commonly distinguish between Windows/Mac/etc. (desktop) vs. iOS/Android (mobile).

On the desktop or the phone?

As others have mentioned, it's probably correlating both your mobile and desktop, since there's certainly shared accounts being accessed on both.

Oh wow - how is that achieved? I've spent my career in mobile and didn't know this was true on desktop

Read the article more carefully. He mentions the desktop BRIEFLY, but it's not the topic of the article, which is 99% mobile Chrome.
