Fran??ois Beaufort is now teasing Chromebooks owners with an upcoming version of the Chrome OS launcher that is touch-friendly and currently resides in the Canary channel, and this time there’s more than a screenshot, as the developer took his time to put together a nice video to show us the new Chrome OS launcher in action. If you can’t wait any longer until the Launcher UI hits the Dev or Beta channels, or why not even the stable one someday, you can switch to use the experimental Canary channel and enable the “chrome://flags/#enable-fullscreen-app-list” flag and restart Google Chrome to activate the touch-friendly launcher.
