  1. 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.

  2. chromeos is no good for data segregation. i saw this chromeos laptop i thought would be good. i thought lacros was staying and expanding. the problem is, i need to be using a windows computer when i sit here becuase i like to be logged into the user where its "google umbrella acount B-esque" in windows, where i can have a chrome profile logged into the google umbrella account A. i have that setup already on a 2020 windows 10 laptop. and i think i sorta regret using the money to get this chromebook even though its nice. but for my needs, a windows 11 laptop would have maybe made more sense. even though i can't stand that microsoft doesn't force all pc makers to have 2 USBC power delivery ports like google forces chromebook makers to do. god damnit microsoft. get with the fuckin program.
