Google celebrates Chrome OS 100

After the desktop browser and the mobile apps, Google is now presenting the innovations of Chrome OS 100, which will be launched later this week. Chrome OS 100 introduces a new launcher reminiscent of an earlier design (circa 2015).

A new theme for the launcher will be "rolled out soon to all Chromebooks". It's now a floating area on the left that doesn't take up the entire screen. This approach is intended to provide "more space for all open windows". One can organize applications manually, by name, or even by icon color, with new installations being customized accordingly.

Web search gets a major upgrade with thumbnails showing more information than before, such as: B. to the weather, to math problems and other results "without leaving the launcher." The tab search is also integrated here. This can be activated manually with:

As part of today's news, Google published a couple of developer blog posts about Chromebooks. One deals with the development of Chrome Cursive, another with the Android Runtime on Chrome OS (ARC), which enables mobile apps from the Play Store. After the original NaCl-based version and ARC++ (Android 6, 7, 9), Google introduced ARCVM last year.

Of course, Android 11 is only available today on the latest and most powerful chipsets, e.g. B. not on the Snapdragon 7c. This virtual machine approach has advantages in terms of security and upgradability, which should lead to easier version upgrades in the future:

"This allows us to further optimize the behavior and performance of ARCVM as the host and guest work in harmony to provide optimal performance and user experience for even the most underperforming devices."

However, Google has not given a timeline today when ARCVM and Android 11 can be expected on other Chromebooks:

"We look forward to expanding ARCVM to more existing and new devices, and will share more as we meet deployment milestones."
