If you aren't aware, Chrome is rolling out dark mode across all versions and operating systems since everyone is seemingly over-the-moon about the idea of all things in black and gray.

One of the features I'm most looking forward to becoming a part of the Stable Channel experience on Chromebooks with Chrome OS 76 is Virtual Desktops.

New Chromebook ‘Kled’ Shows Up To Join The Expanding ‘Hatch’ Family
I don't know about you, but I really enjoy the name Hatch Family. There's just a nice ring to it. Last year's unibuild family name 'Nami' never really caught on as we were all a bit too focused on 'Nocturne' becoming what we now know as the Pixel Slate. Though Gabriel always had a hunch that … [Read more...] about New Chromebook ‘Kled’ Shows Up To Join The Expanding ‘Hatch’ Family
