The explicit goal of Lacros was to “allow [the] Chrome browser on Chromebooks to swiftly get the latest feature and security updates without needing a full OS update.” Notably, the company today believes it is “achieving similar objectives” with the ChromeOS embrace of Android under-the-hood.

I don't know anything about ChromeOS beyond having a cheapo Chromebook and setting up Linux on it. From the sounds of it, I'm guessing it's core functionality was heavily reliant on the Chrome browser? Kinda like how Microsoft used Explorer to build IE, so there was a lot of cross over between IE and the standard windows File system?

I wonder if this one will make it to killedbygoogle, or if it'll be omitted because it wasn't public-facing.

So ... No more browser profiles?

This was for updating Chrome only when ChromeOS becomes EOL for a model. Nothing to do with browser profiles. EDIT: I stand corrected

The standard Non-LaCros browser does not support profiles, but LaCros does.
