I know not everyone uses their Chromebook as a tablet or even in tablet mode if it has a keyboard attached, and tablet-style Chromebooks haven’t exactly taken the world by storm, but this update is pretty fun nonetheless.

Google Search Knowledge Graph is testing an awesome Material Design makeover
While watching the Ubisoft Forward event which took place yesterday (yes, Stadia was taken off of the Assassin’s Creed Mirage blog post for some reason), I saw an advertisement for something called Mythic Quest.

Subtly, quietly and in a gradual way, printing has become one of Chrome OS’ real strengths. I can’t tell you the number of times I’ve had to print items for my Mac or Windows friends because a driver or setting just wouldn’t work for them. Just a few years ago, that would never have been […]

Back when Google began spinning down support for Chrome Apps across most platforms, many thought the Chrome Web Store was about to begin the slow wind-down to obsolescence. I was in that company. I won’t lie. I simply thought Google was doing what Google so often does and were walking away from yet another marginally […]

That title should tell you a ton about the contents of this article and video. It is crammed full of descriptive words and much longer than we generally make titles. For this article and video, however, it is absolutely fitting as the newest update to our favorite operating system is an absolutely massive one.

Much like the dawn of Android apps on Chromebooks, the buzz around container-driven Linux apps is growing day by day. More features keep cropping up and it feels like we might be headed towards some sort of announcement at Google I/O in a couple weeks, even if we don’t hear it in the primary keynote.

Slowly but surely, the Material Design language that is present in most parts of Android is starting to become the norm for Chromebooks as well. The main browser, settings, notifications and system tray have all adapted the material treatment over the past few months. Most recently, the Chrome Flags page has received the same treatment. […]

Chrome OS developers continue to bring new features and design elements to Chromebooks with each update. The ever-growing expansion of Google’s Material Design principles are quickly taking over the UI of Chrome OS and personally, I love it.

Google’s Material Design movement continues to evolve across platforms and Chrome OS is no exception. If you’re not familiar with Material Design, it is a Google-created design language based on the characteristics of real paper and ink.

With all the excitement of many more Chromebooks getting access to Android Apps this week in the Dev Channel (version 56), we have quite a few Chromebooks around the office in the Dev Channel now.

It’s a beautiful app that’s minimal and informative, but at the same time, I don’t favor waking up to the worst kind of news I’ve ever read and lacking features most other news apps have. However, such is the […]
