Default Chrome OS 76 brings media controls, redesigned camera, and more

Google has just launched the latest version of its in-house ultra-book operating system Chrome OS. The new update brings Chrome OS to version 76. According to a report detailing all the changes, the highlight of the new OS is that it blocks Flash by default in the web browser. Users can still switch it back to “Ask first” behavior that is present on past versions of the Chrome OS. Other changes in the report reveal a number of improvements including easier Android app sign-in on Chrome OS. The company will roll out this feature “later this month”.
