This handy feature has been promised to ChromeOS users for a while now – but it’s still stuck in development

ChromeOS users have been promised a new trackpad gesture feature that’ll make dismissing pop-up notifications a breeze – but we’re yet to see it actually appear on any Chromebooks. Instead, some demo users have stumbled upon the feature in Google’s Developer Channel – a full month later.

The new controls were technically introduced to ChromeOS in February, due to be rolled out ‘over the coming days’ according to the official blog post. However, it seems the feature is still trapped in development limbo. Robby Payne from ChromeUnboxed laments how common it seems to be for new features to be announced for ChromeOS only for a few specific features to be completely left out until the next update. 

It seems like that might be the case with the gesture feature. An entirely new ChromeOS 122 update was introduced at the start of March with no mention of the gesture control, implying either that the feature has already been rolled out or entirely forgotten about.
