Chrome Unboxed - The Latest Chrome OS News
A Space for All Things Chrome, Google, and More!
Just a tad behind schedule, Chrome OS 87 is now making its way to the Stable Channel for select devices with a wider rollout happening over the next few days. The delayed-release was caused, in part, by a nasty bug that affected keyboard inputs in Android applications. This release of Chrome OS was already scheduled […]
Chrome is clearly getting a tab search feature that is increasingly available across multiple development channels at this point both out of the box and behind a flag. As it stands on Chromebooks, you can access this feature in the Beta Channel in Chrome OS 87 with a flag, but that same flag doesn’t kick […]

One thing I’ve learned about Chrome users across the board is that most of you all love – LOVE – to leave tabs open. Whether it is a laissez-faire-like approach to leaving email inboxes with thousands of unopened messages lying dormant or simply just an intense focus on the here and now that leads so […]
For those not familiar, Google Chrome gives users the ability to add custom search engines based on keywords. For example, in my daily work I have to perform many searches – be it to search for an employee on the company Intranet or to search the ticketing system for an existing service request – and […]
There’s no denying my excitement for ‘Coachz’ at this point. I’ve always dreamed about a great, portable Chrome OS tablet and though my hopes were dashed pretty hard with the Pixel Slate that was too big as a tablet and too wonky as a Chromebook replacement, my interest in the form factor was rejuvenated with […]
Ever since Google announced their Tab Groups feature, I’ve been using them for pretty much everything. After adding flags for tab group collapsing and freezing, they’re becoming somewhat of a power tool for productivity. When I switch over to my Windows desktop for some editing work or game development, I’m just a bit sad that […]
Google has recently been playing with your new tab page (NTP) and has been experimenting with things like a shopping module, recipe module, and more. Upon opening up a new tab in the browser, the idea is to present you with a box under your search bar and shortcuts that would pique your interest in […]
I’ve been spending many days over the past few months dreaming about how awesome the upcoming Snapdragon-powered Chromebook tablet ‘Coachz’ will be. After all, with an 11-inch 3:2 screen, Snapdragon 7c processor, kickstand and wirelessly-charging USI stylus, what’s not to like, right? It seems like every single thing I uncover about ‘Coachz’ impresses and I […]
As if ‘Coachz’ wasn’t already one of the most intruiging Chrome OS devices coming in 2021, it now has one of the only hardware features missing from the overall formula: a fingerprint scanner. Sure, it’s not as fun as wireless charging, reverse wireless charging, a kickstand, or the magnetized, charging stylus we expect from this […]
While we’re still patiently expecting the long-awaited dark theme on Chrome OS to finally arrive in the Stable Channel for Chromebooks, there’s no doubt that dark themes are here to stay across not only operating systems, but applications and web services as well. While it felt a bit like a passing fad in the beginning, […]
We’re coming close to the end of details we can muster up on the latest Chromebook tablet in production that is powered by the Snapdragon 7c: ‘Coachz’. We’ve already unearthed the QHD 3:2 11-inch display, the Apple Pencil-like external wireless-charging USI pen, and the fact that we could see both wireless and reverse wireless charging […]
Over the years, Google Search has always been a series of questions you type into a box and then it spits out little blue links that it thinks are relevant based on matches it found with keywords alone – very rudimentary. Later on, Google implemented what’s known as the Knowledge Graph – a new system […]
