#chromeos128 — Public Fediverse posts on home.social

no import required - uses your existing chrome bookmarks, but with a nice full screen grid view of browser bookmarks with favicons automatically applied - makes nice internet launcher, including 3x3 app folders, similar to iOS / android home screen. Supports drag and drop. changes are synced to Google cloud since its a launcher gui for your existing bookmarks

Uses doc mode layout (left to right, top to bottom) for anyone familiar with the physics of the iPad / iPhone home screen

what do you think?

It's called Favorites New Tab Page

dear google please just keep the lacros flag or at least immediately replace it with a "enable chrome profiles" flag.

chrome profiles are too important to get rid of.

LaCrOs on chromeOS - multiple chrome profiles -

"I have been using the LaCrOs version of Chrome for more than a year, and I was devastated when I read Robby’s post about Google shutting down the LaCrOs experiment in the near future. “Devastated” might seem like a bit of an overstatement, but let me explain.

Don’t take away my profiles!
The most valuable feature of LaCrOs was the ability to create multiple Chrome profiles. To those of you who use a Mac or PC as your primary device, [chrome profiles have always been available.]"

For some reason, chrome profiles were not available on chromeOS until the lacros flag was made available in 2022. this greatly increases the utility of chromebook by allowing users to seamlessly switch between chrome profiles as can be done on windows and mac.

with lacros going away, will we still be able to have chome profiles?

i ask because according to

https://support.google.com/chromeos-beta/thread/284972520/ending-support-for-lacros-experimental-version-of-chrome-browser-for-chromeos?hl=en

"With this change, there will be no impact to Chromebooks users."

But this would be a big impact for users who have grown accustomed to being able to use chrome profiles. so "no impact" is a lie. will chrome profiles be added in chromeOS128 or what...

draft - Favorites New Tab Page extension - how about an option to lock the layout unless we right click and choose edit?

draft - on chromeos in the play store, the opera browser is a full desktop style browser when you download it from chromeos.

firefox and other browsers should do the same.

give us a full desktop level browser, or at least the option to do so when downloading from a chromebook via the play store
