Google Discontinues Lacros Browser for ChromeOS

Google is discontinuing Lacros, an experimental Chrome browser for ChromeOS, as it shifts ChromeOS development to the Android stack. This move aims to achieve the same goals of decoupling Chrome from ChromeOS for independent updates, but through a different approach. The change is part of a broader strategy to unify development across Pixel hardware, Android software, and ChromeOS. While Lacros is ending, the lessons learned from it have already improved ChromeOS, and the shift is not expected to impact end users significantly.

"Smoothly Transition to Google's Decoupled Chrome Browser on Chromebooks with ChromeOS 116"

Google is introducing Lacros, a new version of the Chrome browser for Chromebooks, which will run on a custom Linux build of Chrome within ChromeOS. Lacros will allow for Chrome to be updated separately from ChromeOS, providing better security and longevity for Chromebooks. While Lacros is set to roll out with the next ChromeOS update, users can already try it out by enabling specific flags in the Chrome browser settings. The new Lacros browser offers a seamless experience with aesthetic and functional improvements, including a profile switcher. Beta testing methods for Lacros with general consumers may be introduced soon.

Google's Potential Plan to Separate Chrome from ChromeOS

Google is reportedly working on separating the Chrome browser from Chrome OS with a new standalone Linux-based browser called Lacros. This move aims to make browser patches more efficient and potentially improve security for older Chromebooks. Lacros is expected to become the default browser for Chromebooks in the next system update, Chrome OS 116, which is likely to be released at the end of August or the beginning of September.
