To evaluate an enhanced Launcher experience that aims to improve app workflows by optimizing access to apps, app content, and app actions. Dinsan over at Chrome Story has uncovered something truly remarkable – a working, yet incomplete example of a new app launcher for Chrome OS that combines the elements and design of both the old and new launchers into one! A poor comparison, but one of the only ones that can be made. It was more akin to the Windows 10 start button whereas today’s launcher is more like the full-screen start option that Windows has buried in its settings.

Before the app launcher we commonly know and use today for Chromebooks – the Peeking Launcher – Chrome OS used a smaller, left-aligned launcher where app icons and a search box were held.
