Google may finally decouple Chrome from ChromeOS 116

And 3 big deals on 3 big Chromebooks!

View this email in your browser Google may finally be ready to decouple Chrome from ChromeOS 116 Ah, LaCrOS.  We've been talking about it so long that I wouldn't blame you if you forgot what that even was.  For a very long time, Google has been at work to decouple Chrome the browser from Chrome the OS on Chromebooks.  And with ChromeOS 116, we might finally see the start of the transition. For those that don't keep up with such minutia, you won't really notice much.  LaCrOS is simply a Linux build of Chrome that will replace the Chrome we have baked into ChromeOS; though the way it works, looks and functions won't really change apart from the ability to finally be able to log multiple accounts into Chrome for work/life separation. If it goes as planned, the way you use your Chromebook won't change much, but it could mean that security updates can continue to arrive for the browser even after ChromeOS AUE dates have passed.  That's great news for Chromebook longevity and once things are in place and working, it should mean a more-stable update release pattern for standard Chromebook updates, too.
