Oliver explains how biometrics are used when signing in with a Passkey and how sites never handle your biometric data, which stays local to your device. #ChromeForDevelopers #Chrome Speaker: Oliver Dunk Products Mentioned: Chrome

More screen and less clutter.

Using Passkeys, your users can sign in with just a tap of their finger or a scan of their face. Does that mean your site is now doing biometric authentication and handling biometric data?

Scaling generative AI demands a unified, governed platform that delivers complex agentic capability, end-to-end operational control, and the flexibility of model choice across your enterprise – regardless of where your data resides.

Today, many organizations are moving towards lakehouse architectures to have a single copy of their data and use multiple engines for different workloads — without having to copy or move the data.

We think a lot about the future of AI here at Chrome Unboxed. We talk about how it will write our emails, organize our calendars, and maybe even code our apps.

There are few things more annoying in the modern living room than sitting down to watch a movie, grabbing the remote, and realizing the batteries are dead. You do the “battery roll,” maybe swap them around, or frantically dig through a drawer looking for a fresh pair of AAAs.

When Google Vids first launched, it promised to be the “Docs, Sheets, and Slides” of video creation—a collaborative, easy-to-use tool that lived right in your browser. But for a while, the coolest magic tricks—specifically the powerful Gemini AI features—were locked behind paid Workspace subscriptions. That is all changing now.

Chrome’s sync feature keeps your browsing data consistent across devices. Sometimes this feature encounters problems that need a fresh start. Resetting sync clears your cloud-stored browsing information while keeping local data safe.

Virtual desks on Chromebook let you create separate workspaces for different tasks. You can keep work files on one desk and personal browsing on another. Each desk runs independently with its own apps and windows. Switching between these desks quickly improves your workflow.

I’m starting to sound like a broken record here, but I honestly don’t know what else to say. Every time I think the ‘Skywalker’ baseboard is finished adding new devices, I check the Chromium Gerrit and find another one. We thought 8 was a lot. We were shocked at 10.

Introduction: Leverage or Simplicity? In crypto trading, every strategy begins with one question — leverage or simplicity? Some traders prefer the security of spot markets, where they buy and hold actual crypto assets. Others turn to crypto futures, using leverage to amplify both profits and risks.

Browser-based gaming has grown fast over the past few years, and Chromebooks are right at the centre of that shift.  What started as lightweight machines for students and office workers has evolved into a fully capable platform for everything from casual games to cloud streaming and interactive web apps.

Google Fonts offers tons of free typefaces — now including Google Sans Flex.

M-142, ChromeOS version 16433.48.0 (Browser version 142.0.7444.181) has rolled out to ChromeOS devices on the Stable channel.

For the third time in recent months, Google has found itself scrambling to fix a potentially serious zero-day flaw in the Chrome browser’s V8 JavaScript engine.

We already know that Gemini 3 is a new, powerhouse model, but the biggest question with these launches is always: “When will I actually see it in the products I use?” Usually, the answer for Google Search is “months from now.” Not this time.

Apple is building the world’s best ecosystem for artificial intelligence. The Mac, supported by iPads and iPhones, ticks nearly every box for the inevitable future of the technology.

Gemini 3 is here. In a massive blog post published just today, Google CEO Sundar Pichai and DeepMind CEO Demis Hassabis introduced the new model family, calling it their “most intelligent model” to date.

If you’ve ever tried to use AI to make a video for work, you know the struggle. You generate a clip of a person or a product, and it looks great.

The dust has finally settled on the brief but chaotic contract dispute between Google and Disney.

The fastest way to transform your business is here. Today, we’re bringing Gemini 3, our most intelligent model, to every developer and enterprise team. It’s the best model in the world for multimodal understanding, and our most powerful agentic and vibe-coding model yet.

The AI character chat market reached $120 million in revenue during 2025, with 337 active applications serving millions of users worldwide. Character.AI leads with 20 million monthly active users and $32.2 million in annual revenue.

Browsers control what websites and extensions can access on your device. These permissions cover everything from your camera and microphone to location services and notification settings. Different browsers handle these controls in their own way. Chrome, Firefox, Edge, and Opera each provide tools to manage what sites can do.

The Black Ops series has always blurred the lines between fiction and reality by taking emerging technology and introducing it into various high-pressure scenarios.

Chromebooks have spent the last few years becoming surprisingly decent for gaming, even if most people still picture them as lightweight machines for school or work. Steam’s alpha program will wrap up in 2026, so ChromeOS isn’t really chasing full native PC blockbusters anymore, but that hasn’t slowed things down.

The ChromeOS Stable channel is being updated to OS version 16463.20.0 (Browser version 143.0.7499.28) for most ChromeOS devices.

 The Stable channel has been updated to 142.0.7444.175/.176 for Windows and 142.0.7444.176 for Mac and 142.0.7444.175 for Linux, which will roll out over the coming days/weeks. A full list of changes in this build is available in the Log.

Wasm, WebGPU, and WebNN are the foundational compute abstractions that enable developers to build and deploy AI systems with almost limitless autonomy and control.
