You can try Chrome’s awesome new Split Tabs feature right now in ChromeOS 139 – chromeunboxed.com

ChromeOS 140 is rolling out now, but sadly, Gemini in Chrome isn’t along for the ride – chromeunboxed.com

The latest milestone update for ChromeOS is now beginning its journey to the stable channel. If you head to your settings, you should be able to pull down the update for ChromeOS 140 right now. But before you get too excited about a flood of new features, I’d suggest tempering your expectations a bit. This one appears to be a pretty quiet update; at least for now.
