For the longest time, my Chromebook was a Gmail-and-Netflix machine. I’d have Chrome open, a few tabs going, and that was the extent of it. After realizing some of the downsides of Chromebooks when I first bought one five years ago, I figured I should dig into the other side of that coin now. What I found surprised me. ChromeOS has grown up a lot when nobody was paying attention, and there are features buried in it that changed the way I actually use the thing.
