Well, at least they aren’t outright throwing the functionality in the trash.

    There’s something to be said about brand recognition, and Google just doesn’t listen.

    I’m not defending Google but I think the change is just an admission that the old “Chromecast” branding is outdated. It wouldn’t surprise me if less than 5% of users still regularly cast from a desktop browser.

    Crazy to think that even the newest Pixels can’t cast to any device unless you specifically have Chromecast support, which most of the TVs don’t. I can cast my Samsung or iPhone just fine tho
