Chrome Unboxed-The latest Chrome OS news

A space for everything like Chrome, Google, etc.!

Chrome Flags is a great way to manipulate your Chrome OS device and give it more features than out of the box. These switches enable features that have not yet been released to the public, and Google is building and testing these features in real time. For most people who just want to use Chromebooks to get their work done, hiding them behind the "logo" allows them to do so without disrupting the stability of the operating system.

For the rest of us, Flags provides a great way to tinker, excite, and understand the prospects of Google’s super popular laptop operating system. However, with the introduction of the LaCrOS browser and the fact that it is about to replace the built-in Chromium code base that drives Chrome OS today, we foresee some problems with existing features.

Replacing Chrome with LaCrOS-essentially the same as the Chrome version on traditional desktop PCs-allows Google to extend updates and support for older devices, because it is actually a tool that separates the browser from the operating system itself! No longer relying on browsers means companies can do more to make local hardware safer and longer.

Soon, it will become the default web browser on Chrome OS, and there is even a flag that allows you to immediately enable it on the Canary channel. With this, we have long known that any sign that changes the local system really has no home. Of course, browser-related flags can be kept in chrome://flags through LaCrOS Omnibox, but any Chrome OS-related flags are left out.

It now appears that Google has come up with a solution! As it did in the Crosh terminal and several other previous maladaptations, Chrome Flags is now housed in a dedicated standalone system web application or SWA for short. As you can see below, Chrome OS 98 Canary will now display a blue beaker icon in a white adaptive circle on the Chromebook shelf, while the user peruses the mark.

The new SWA icon can be pinned to the shelf for easy access, but it will not be displayed in the launcher via the Everything button. If you do visit chrome://flags through your browser, you will see a notification at the top asking if you want to open "os://flags", which is obviously the new homepage URL of this SWA is not in a standalone wrapper Time, although I can’t simply type it into the browser to find it.

I like this new icon very much. It reminds me of the new "Lab" experiment logo of the Chrome browser, in which the reading list, lens search, and side panel are located. I think the beaker icon may need to disappear as soon as possible because the company recently launched Google Labs again, so ignoring the fact that it is already a brand reclaimed from its own wall. If the following situations occur, the Flags logo may end up with Labs confused it also using a beaker. After all, what else would you use to make the Labs logo? This is the hope that Google will invest in double helix or other things to change the DNA of its brand efforts.
