Google Chrome, without debate, is one of the most common browsers used around the globe. The company comes up with silent updates almost every other week but sometimes we get an incremental update. ChromeOS 107, which can confuse a lot of users since ChromeOS 106 was just released, is here. Let’s find out more about it.
ChromeOS 107 has been made live recently with a handful of updated features and improvements. Tech giant Google has released the latest update with a “Save Desk for Later” feature to provide a better user experience. Users can also look forward to virtual desk enhancements, camera framing, a locking lid feature without turning sleep mode on and much more.
According to a report by 9to5Google, the new ChromeOS 107 update is introducing two desk improvements. The report says, “The first one will allow users to quickly “Save desk for later” from the overview screen using the button above the left-most window. Upon clicking, the user will be redirected to the “Saved for later” screen, which can be accessed from the right of the “New desk” screen.” Any user updating to the new ChromeOS 107 update will now be able to see a row of favicons open. Users can also assign a name to these favicons and check the creation data. The report also added that when tapped on these favicons, the desk will automatically launch and restore itself.
The new update also makes it easier for users to close the open desks. This can now be done from the Overview menu. There will also be an “Undo” option for situations when the desk gets closed accidentally. This “Undo” button can be found at the bottom of the screen.
As per reports surfacing on various tech blogs, Google may be currently testing a merge feature which will allow users to combine different open desks if and when needed. Many reviewers have also claimed that the “Recent” view in the Files app has been revamped with a completely new “Documents” filter. Moreover, the list below this tap is not sorted by time period. If true, this will make navigation a lot easier as compared to the previous interface. In another convenient feature, users can now long press the virtual keyboard in order to access the “accent letters”.
Moreover, Chrome OS 107 will further let users perform a similar function by holding down the physical keys on the keyboard. The 9to5Google reports further suggest, if this functionality doesn’t work for some reason, users, in that case, might have to enable it manually.
Google has been consistently committed to technological improvements, be it its tech products or the smart devices they offer. They also provide proper updates to their software from time to time in an effort to meet all user expectations. The story with ChromeOS has been no different and yet many users over the period of time have experienced disappointment regardings their silent releases. However, this time, it seems Google has planned some improvements in their latest ChromeOS update. ChromeOS 107 is developed to fix many user engagement issues and provide a better experience.
