LacrosSelection

Select Lacros browser binary
Last updated October 8, 2024

This setting configures which Lacros browser to use. If the policy is set to user_choice, the user can decide which Lacros browser to load: binary from rootfs or stateful partition. If the user has not set any preference, the binary with the newest version will be chosen. If the policy is set to rootfs, always load rootfs binary of Lacros browser. If the policy is unset, the default is rootfs for enterprise-managed users and user_choice for non-managed users. Note that changing the policy's value may cause Lacros browser's data loss if the browser's version it changes to is older than the current one. For example, if the policy changes from user_choice to rootfs, and the first one was updated. Or if Google ChromeOS was updated together with rootfs Lacros browser, and stateful has not been updated yet. In such scenarios the correct data migration is not guaranteed. Using user_choice or rootfs is a safe option. Switching from rootfs to user_choice is safe as well.
