But security updates aren’t everything. According to HowTo GeekHere’s what else you can expect after upgrading to Chrome 104 (bonus points if you have a Chromebook):

Chrome OS officially supports light and dark modes

Dark Mode is the best in any software This was a requested feature and is now available on Chrome OS. With the latest update, Google not only officially supports switching between light and dark modes, but now you can switch between them automatically. I use this feature on my device so when the sun starts to set everything goes into dark mode.

Chrome OS new start menu

aAnother cool feature: Chromebooks now have a Windows-like start menu called “Productivity Launcher”. It comes with a Google search bar and Assistant shortcuts. In addition, a new feature displays the date on the other side of the system tray.: Click to see a large and handy calendar widget.

Share only a selected part of your screen in a video recording

Anyone who shares their screen regularly will welcome this update: Web app developers can implement a feature called region capture, which allowed users to snip an area of ​​the display to record or share instead of focusing on an entire window or entire screen. This feature helps ease fears of being overly shared and allows you to control exactly what parts of your screen others can see.

Of course, it’s up to developers to implement region capture in their services, so you may not see this feature right away.Met’But I have Chrome 104.

LazyEmbeds (limited testing)

Google is also testing a feature called LazyEmbeds. This feature only loads when the content embedded in the website is displayed on the screen. This is a spin-off of “lazy loading” where the browser only loads the site’s content when the user looks at it, instead of loading the entire site and its content at once. At this time, only 1% of Chrome users participate in this test, so it won’t be fully rolled out with version 104.

New developer update

With each new version of Chrome, Google rolls out new features for developers. The full list of changes is Google’s DevTools blog and the chrome blogeven as This DevTools 104 video:
