Chrome Unboxed - The Latest Chrome OS News
A Space for All Things Chrome, Google, and More!
I’m going to come clean right off the bat, here: I had no idea Friday Night Funkin existed before this morning. As a routine thing around our office, I was checking in on Google Trends to see what the internet was interested in this fine 4th day of May, 2021. To my surprise, one of […]
Ah, the power of the web. Every day, more and more tools are being created or honed to make the web a place for more powerful tools that can increase productivity and release us from the dependency of bloated, locally installed software. While powerful tools such as online video editors like Clipchamp or streaming game […]
We’ve been tracking Google’s new Chrome Reading list feature for quite some time now, and it’s been awesome to see it evolve. What began as a simple means of reading something later with one click on the desktop is slowly becoming a full-blown replacement for tab managers like Toby, bookmarking systems like Pocket, and more. […]
Google Discover (at the bottom of your new tab page in Chrome, in the Google app, and on the left-most screen of the Android launcher) is a place I tend to find interesting and sometimes-random things that pique my interest. Over the weekend, that exact thing happened and out of nowhere I came across a […]
With the introduction of its tab search feature, Chrome hoped to assist users in quickly navigating the cluttered and limited horizontal space provided by the tab strip at the top of the browser. By clicking the little arrow next to the minimize button, one can click an open tab to hop over to it without […]
Organizing your Chrome browser tabs into tab groups, collapsing and freezing them, and even searching or quickly jumping to them are all fantastic ways to identify and switch rapidly between them, but a new feature in Chrome is going to make this even easier. Rolling out now is a feature that allows you to name […]
In a new blog post, Google has highlighted a few new features that should make Chrome more helpful throughout your day. We’ve been tracking several of these – like muting notifications while screensharing, the improved PDF reader tools, updates to performance using tab group collapsing and freezing, and window naming – for some time and […]
One day behind schedule, Chrome desktop browser has begun rolling out Windows, macOS, and Linux users. While we recommend that you always keep your browser up-to-date, it is crucial that you update your Chrome, Edge, or other Chromium-based browsers sooner than later. On April 13, the day Chrome 90 was set to release, an incremental […]
Chrome 90 for desktop began rolling out yesterday and if you missed it, you aren’t alone. There aren’t a ton of big, new features for end users to get excited about and that is a bit expected with the latest version. With Chrome OS turning 10 as the Chrome 89 upgrade cycle hit last month, […]
When the new year came around, I discovered something called Chrome Cart – a new tab page module in the Chrome browser that would let you pick up where you left off while shopping online and decrease cart abandonment rates for eCommerce. Little did I know at the time that this new feature was not […]
Last year was a pretty big bummer when it came to Google I/O. At the annual developer event, Google tends to explain a bit about where things are headed from a software direction and it also serves as a jumping off point for a few new pieces of hardware. Suffice it to say, in 2020, […]
As we continue to see progressive web apps storm the Play Store in place of traditionally packaged apps, a new development to the PWA install dialogue has been revealed. Upon looking at the image below, you’ll notice that it looks a whole lot like a Google Play Store app listing. It has a description, an […]
