It’s hard to imagine why it’s taken this long, but as of the mid-February 2023 update to Chrome OS, the system now has a “Trash” feature (a Recycle Bin, if you’re a Windows person).

ChromeOS keeps getting better and better, but I still haven’t figured out how to easily change desktop wallpaper on my Chromebook. Is there a trick to it, or an app I need to download? Thanks.
I download lots of animated GIFs to share with my friends, but I would like to make some too. Is that even possible on a Chromebook, and if so, what app or program do you recommend?
