A Cut and Paste From Softpedia News

Google has promoted today the Chrome OS 73 operating system to the stable channel for Chromebook devices, a release that adds several new features, improvements, bug fixes, and security updates

Coming hot on the heels of the Chrome 73 web browser, which Google released last week for desktops, including GNU/Linux, macOS, and Windows systems, as well as Android mobile devices, the Chrome OS 73 operating system is here to add a number of enhancements to further enrich your Chromebook experience.

New features include support for sharing files and folders with Linux apps, improved native Google Drive integration in the Files app thanks to the addition of support for the Drive > Computers root, better out-of-memory management, native media controls for the video player, and audio focus support on CrOS.

Chrome OS now reports additional telemetry data

With the Chrome OS 73 release, Google also implemented support for reporting additional telemetry data from Chromebook devices, alerts for notifying users of the upcoming removal of the remaining Chrome Supervised Users, Demo Mode offline enrollment, language settings, and setup functionality, and new printer maximum cap.

"For managed devices, the remotely configured 20 printer maximum cap will be raised to allow for several thousand native printers for each organizational unit in the Google Admin console," said Cindy Bayless in today's announcement. "If you’re interested in testing the new feature, please join our trusted tester program."

Google kicked off the rollout of Chrome OS 73.0.3683.88 (Platform version: 11647.104.0/1/2/3) release to most Chrome OS users around the globe, saying that users will receive the software update over the next several days. To update, simply navigate to the About Chrome OS section in the Settings panel and apply the new software version.
