Overview
- A new toggle in Chrome Canary for Windows can automatically open the browser when the PC finishes booting.
- The setting appears under On startup as “Open Chrome when my computer starts” and launches a fresh window after login.
- It appears to be a gradual rollout within Canary, the option is off by default, and Google has not issued an official statement.
- Automatic launch could increase immediate RAM use and background activity, which may slow startup on older or low-memory machines.
- The feature could benefit users and office setups that work primarily in web apps, email, or dashboards by reducing steps at login.
