Support for the experimental lacros-chrome browser. Google has been working for a few months on a new project in Chrome codenamed “LaCrOS,” which we discovered this week through a new flag being added to chrome://flags. This means once your Chromebook reaches its update expiration date, your browser will slowly become more vulnerable. However, on Chromebooks, the version of your browser is directly tied to your OS getting updates. Even if you don’t care about the features, though, it’s important to keep Chrome up to date so that you have the latest security updates to keep your computer and information safe while browsing.Įven on older desktops and Android phones, it’s easy to update Chrome to keep the browser secure. Update: We’ve now gotten our first look at Google’s efforts to let Chromebooks continue to get browser updates well past their “expiration date.”Įvery six weeks or so, Google releases an update for Chrome which we typically follow for its fun and exciting new features. It seems Google has found a clever potential solution to make the end of OS updates less of a death sentence for your Chromebook by separating browser updates from Chrome OS updates. When buying a new Chromebook, one thing we should all by now be trained to look out for is its “expiration date,” or the date after which you’ll no longer receive updates.
