We talk about a ton of stuff here at Chrome Unboxed. From Chromebooks to Chromecast to Google Assistant, the world of Chrome OS is pretty far-reaching. We save our News section for the things that are breaking news to our readers.
Back in early December, 9to5Google’s resident code sleuth Kyle Bradshaw uncovered a new feature in the works for Chrome OS that would quickly give users access to quick info about the selected text on a webpage.

First up, let me warn you that we all need to take this info with a grain of salt. This is all circumstantial and possible, but I have no hard evidence that what I’m about to say is fact. Instead, looking at industry trends, failed past experiments, and a very particular and current flag still […]
In the world of cord-cutting and streaming TV, we’ll likely see some of our choices narrow down a bit over what we once had.
