Chrome Unboxed - The Latest Chrome OS News
A Space for All Things Chrome, Google, and More!
I’m not gonna lie – I have always hated creating tables in Google Docs. I’ve hated it so much so that I’ve done everything in my power to shift any data that needed to be there over to Google Sheets instead, but I can understand why it’s important to be able to insert this content […]
If you use the Google Play Store on your Chromebook to install apps and games instead of just relying on web apps or PWAs for everything, then you’ll likely know that there are plenty of great experiences that you can take advantage of on your device. Mind you, most are not native to laptop screens […]
A new offer can be claimed on the Chromebook Perks website or through the Explore app on your Chromebook for three free months of Sumo Suite, a popular and long-running creative painting app. What’s unique about this app, however, is that it’s not the original “Sumo Paint” that you’ve probably heard of before. Sumo Apps […]
After receiving a new Workspace-style logo back in September, and several Chat integrations, wider availability, and even inline detail editing in Gmail just months later, Google Tasks has been reborn in a big way. Google still has quite a bit of work on its hands as maintaining two separate versions of Tasks is just ridiculous […]
A few months back, Google Chat for Android added the ability to call people one person at a time – no group calling necessary. This was one of the most basic features that Google Hangouts, the app’s predecessor, had had since launch, and yet, Chat brought it to the table much later. Now, the ability […]
We’re big fans of Pixlr Photo Editor here at Chrome Unboxed. On the web and for Chromebooks, it’s one of the earliest and still one of the best Photoshop alternatives for creatives, especially if you have the One by Wacom graphics tablet that we reviewed earlier this year. Back in February, however, the company did […]
The Chromecast with Google TV has a “Live” tab at the top of its UI that’s been reserved for Youtube TV since the launch of the device. If you aren’t a Youtube TV subscriber, then you’ll probably notice that there simply is no Live tab on your interface. It effectively disappears when it’s not useful. […]
Well, this is awkward. A bunch of users who are purchasing the Chromecast with Google TV Netflix bundle are somehow receiving an extra six months of subscription time with the streaming service. First noticed by Artem Russakovskii, the founder of Android Police, checking the “Activity” tab of his Google Home app, he stumbled upon a […]
Back in February, Google promised that by the end of 2021, Stadia would have 100 games to play, and while that initially seemed like a tall order, this week marks the fulfillment of that wild promise with the release of the long-awaited title Chorus, which happens to be that 100th game! While this doesn’t mean […]
Android TV and other Google TV devices using version 2.15.006 of the Youtube app are beginning to receive a brand new user interface for playlists. First discovered by 9to5Google, the new UI is clean and professional, and has one major difference from the previous iteration that once populated the space. Instead of autoplaying all of […]
Google Chat has slowly become a worthy replacement for Hangouts, and while it still has some changes to make before it’s truly on par with its predecessor, Google continues to support and develop the service for individuals and organizations alike in response to the global pandemic. Not all of the changes have been widely accepted […]
Not long ago, I was overjoyed to finally be writing the headline “Chromecast with Google TV will finally receive personalized user profiles”. The fact that this long-sought-after feature was inbound after Google’s streaming dongle failed to launch with it, and users have had to go without it all this time since had me ecstatic. To […]
