None of those benefits are coming with LaCrOS[0]. I don't know why people keep repeating that when Google has never stated there will be more updates.

While it's possible that Google hasn't said they'll be doing the updates separately for the browser there's no reason to suspect they wouldn't do that once LaCrOS was fully implemented -- after all, it works under Linux.

The comment I submitted only went so far as to say they started doing "that", referring to the parent's post about decoupling and providing separate updates.

If "that" is referring to both, it's incorrect. Google has said they will be "well into 2024" without any benefits brought by LaCrOS. That includes any theoretical extending of the expiration dates.

Are you arguing that because they won't have something providing benefits until "well into 2024" that they have not started as of the time of my comment ?

I know they haven't talked about using this to extend updates, but I hope that they do consider that. It'd make these devices much safer.

I guess alternatively, one could run Chromium under their Linux instances on a lot of them.
