Chrome OS 87 adds tab search and battery levels for Bluetooth devices

Chrome OS 87 is now being rolled out and is adding some cool features to help you while browsing the web and using Bluetooth accessories (via 9to5Google).

A new addition in Chrome OS 87 is tabbed search. I usually have dozens of tabs open at all times so I could see how tabbed search could be a really handy way to find something that I lost in the process. Google is also adding tabbed search to the desktop version of Chrome, though the company said in mid-November that the feature would be available “soon” on Chromebooks and other desktop platforms.

Chrome OS 87 can also show the battery levels of Bluetooth devices you’ve connected to your computer (such as wireless headphones) in the Settings and Quick settings menus. I often use a similar feature on my Mac to find out when I might need to charge my AirPods, so I think that could be really useful on Chrome OS.

Google also added 36 new wallpapers from four different artists to Chrome OS 87.
