Don’t have time to read that journal article?
TLDRthis will summarise it for you.
Chrome for Android now offers the ability to use third-party password managers and autofill solutions.
The app has long restricted you to using Google’s password manager and Chrome Autofill.
This new feature requires you to enable a flag
chrome://flags/#enable-autofill-virtual-view-structure
Reminder all enabled flags are experimental features only and might not be "stable" it's good to have choices 😉 but with this I'd use with caution for now

Google has added a new security setting for V8 in Chrome 122, allowing users to disable V8 optimizers for enhanced protection
chrome://settings/content/v8
V8’s main job is to convert JavaScript code into efficient machine code that can be run directly by a computer’s processor. This process is called “JIT (Just-in-time) compilation” and it allows JavaScript code to execute much faster than if it were interpreted by the browser.
Just another good reason why I use a PWA for CoSo, and other social medias, is this wee trick
Highlight any text in any post and search web without actually leaving the social network PWA
Just swipe up the wee bottom bar that appears to see all web results in an overlay view - it's fast and easy to get any results from any highlighted txt then you can tap any result to open it
I use chrome mostly for all my PWAs
Auto-Updates Over mobile Networks on/off using this command
update_over_cellular enable update_over_cellular disable
ChromeOS doesn't update the system while you are on a mobile network in background the way it does when on WiFi(broadband)
It's the same as on Android. you can turn automatic updates over mobile/metered wifi network on or off using they commands
few people know that #ChromeOS (and the Chrome browser on other OS's) has its own task manager open Chrome and going to More (three vertical dots) > More Tools > Task Manager
even fewer people know that ChromeOS has a secondary task manager hidden in Crosh. You can use it to learn about low-level processes that don't show up in the main task manager app.
Press Ctrl Alt T to open Crosh command typing this cool little Crosh command: top
Will open the "advanced" task manager
