The Chrome OS 87 rollout has started for Chromebook models and brings some new features that make it easier to browse the web and use Bluetooth accessories. The new version of Chome will have a tabbed search feature, which was added to the Windows version of the browser last month. It will allow you to locate a tab among several open tabs in a browser. Chrome OS 87 will also display the battery level of the wireless headphones connected to your Chromebook. This update also brings several new wallpapers from four different artists and some bug fixes.
Through an official post on the Chromebook support page, Google shared that Chrome OS 87 has started rolling out for devices and will be coming to all devices in the coming days. The new version of the operating system brings a tab search feature to Chrome that will help users easily locate a tab among multiple open tabs. Clicking on the tab search button next to the minimize icon will bring up a drop down menu where you can search for a particular tab. This can also be activated with Ctrl + Shift + A shortcut.
Tab Search was added to the Windows desktop version of Chrome last month, but it hasn’t reached all users yet. It comes with update version 87.0.4280.66.
The Quick Settings or Settings menu will now display the battery levels of your connected Bluetooth headphones. When a pair of Bluetooth headphones is connected to the Chromebook, a notification at the bottom right of the screen will show the battery level. If you want to know the battery level while using the headphones, just open the Quick Settings or Settings menu. It is not clear if this feature will work with other Bluetooth accessories as well.
Lastly, there are 36 new wallpapers in Chrome OS 87 from four different artists. You can change the wallpaper in Chrome OS by right-clicking on the desktop and selecting Set Wallpaper.
Google has asked users to share any comments or errors they experience on the forum. It is important to note that not all users will be immediately eligible for the update, as it will be rolled out progressively over the next few days.
