New look for Chromebook Plus with ChromeOS 132
ChromeOS 132 was released last week, and Google has now shared all the updates in a new changelog.
On Chromebook Plus devices, ChromeOS 132 brings a fresh look with rounded corners on all app windows. This change is part of a new design update. Here’s how it looks:

If your Chromebook has a fingerprint sensor, you can now use it to log into your Password Manager and fill in forms automatically with Chrome Autofill.
Another cool feature in version 132 is passwordless login. Now, you can use a PIN or a local password to sign into your Chromebook. This means your device password doesn’t have to be the same as your Gmail password.
From the settings menu under Accessibility, you can turn off the touchpad if you use a screen reader or if you often click by accident.
There’s also a new “Face Control” feature where you can control your device using your face movements and gestures.
Setting up your Chromebook is now easier. The setup process groups common tasks like adding a printer, connecting Bluetooth devices, or changing touchpad settings into one handy checklist. Plus, the old “Apps & Games” section has been replaced with a new website, discover.apps.chrome, where you can find apps and games.
This update makes ChromeOS 132 not only look better but also work smarter on Chromebook Plus.
