We haven’t had a chance to get a test set up at this point but I am anxious to see the noise cancellation feature in action.
GET GOOGLE CHROME OS UPDATE
Much to my surprise, the latest update to 93 has added to noise cancellation toggle to my 10th Gen Comet Lake Chromebook. When the flag first appeared in the Canary channel, enabling it did absolutely nothing. I’m still unsure as to which devices will be able to leverage this tech but I do know that Tiger Lake CPUs have the in-built AI features that make noise cancellation a native feature for devices they power. Last month, we shared a new feature that would soon give capable Chromebooks built-in noise cancellation.
GET GOOGLE CHROME OS WINDOWS
I imagine that this will be a time saver for many workflows as it will reduce the number of clicks needed to navigate between windows and desktops. It will not bring that window forward if it is nested beneath other windows but it will become the main focus and therefore be the one that the user now interacts with via their keyboard. This feature will be useful for users that use multiple displays and leverage multiple windows.Īs the name implies, the device focus will shift to whichever window the mouse cursor hovers. The original feature request was opened back in 2013 but developers have just recently begun implementing the bits and pieces to add a “focus follows cursor” function to Chrome OS. Recently discovered by our friend Dinsan Francis of Chrome Story, Google is bringing a new productivity feature to Chrome OS that, apparently has been wanted by users for years. I’m not sure why but I will be sending feedback to assist the developers in addressing the issue. When enabled on multiple devices, sending a tab to one device causes the browser of the other Chromebook to simply crash and restart. While it appears to be working as it should, I have discovered an unusual bug.
There is still some work to be done on this new feature. Once dismissed, the icon disappears as not to take up real estate. Clicking that icon will pop open an information tab about the shared page from which can open the URL in a new tab. Once sent, an icon will appear to the right of your extension icon at the top-right of the browser. The feature allows you to share a webpage from your mobile device or another Chrome browser using the “send to your devices” option in the Chrome share sheet. The latest update, however, has brought back the feature and I’m happy to report that it appears to work as intended. Then, a subsequent update to Canary removed the feature entirely. I have tinkered with the flag for a couple of weeks and recently, I was able to activate the “connected devices” icon when sending a tab to my Chromebook but clicking the icon did nothing.
It was first spotted in action on Chrome for Desktop but now the feature is working in the Canary channel of Chrome OS. Send tab to self 2.0Īs Michael shared over the weekend, Google is working on a new version of the “Send tab to self” feature that will take the notification out of the system tray notifications and give it a dedicated living space just to the right of the Omnibox (URL bar) in Chrome. This is just a highlight of things that are in the works and actually working to some degree or another. Note: Some of these features may have trickled up to the Developer channel already as it has been promoted to a version of 93.
