Lacros
Hi WesD Thanks for your question.
I wanted to resurface a response on this that featured in another Google support platform, but still remains true.
Firstly, to provide context to other members on the Lacros initiative, in August 2023, Google previewed our work on an experimental version of Chrome browser for ChromeOS named Lacros. The original intention was to allow Chrome browser on Chromebooks to swiftly get the latest feature and security updates without needing a full OS update.
As we refocus our efforts on achieving similar objectives with ChromeOS embracing portions of the Android stack, we have decided to end support for this experiment. We believe this will be a more effective way to help accelerate the pace of innovation on Chromebook.
With this change, there will be no impact to Chromebooks users. As always, Google is fully committed to continuing to roll out monthly releases and security fixes for both Chrome and ChromeOS faster throughout. Thanks to the early testing and feedback from the community on Lacros, we were able to make various performance improvements to ChromeOS behind the scenes, such as faster login time, and enhanced battery life during video playback.
As always, please feel free to send us feedback using these instructions.
