JAKARTA - Google will reportedly separate Chrome and ChromeOS browsers on its Chromebook device. This step has actually been visible since 2020.

The update in this project called Lacros will allow Chrome to receive its own updates faster and separate from operating systems.

Lacros is basically the Linux version of Chrome browser with improved Wayland support. According to Google's own documentation, Lacros stands for Linux and Chrome OS.

It is hoped that Lacros can offer users the same experience as running Chrome on a standard Chromebook. In other words, the browser will work exactly like working on a Mac or Windows laptop.

The advantage of Lacros is, Chrome can be continuously updated after its expiration Chromebook and can no longer receive system updates.

Usually, Chromebooks have a lifespan of about five to six years, some have an update support of up to eight years.

While the Chromebook operating system is no longer supported by Google, the Chrome browser will continue to receive updates, which can eventually prolong the device's life longer.

Based on documents found by AboutChromebooks, Lacros appears to be a default feature in the release of ChromeOS 116, which is ready to launch around August 22.

Leaked other features in the update, you can see that the Lacros browser will open with a Slash screen on ChromeOS as it is being updated.

So the feature will exchange the old Chrome for the new Lacros browser. This was quoted from Digital Trends and TechSpot, Friday, August 4.
