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.
Google, stop fucking with your own shit.
I’m not defending Google but I think the change is just an admission that the old “Chromecast” branding is outdated.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
At least they’re not killing the protocol.
Yet.
They already killed MiraCast for their Embrance, Extend, Extinguish Chromecast…
Give it time.
