Where is the stylus support?

I was a huge fan of the S Pen on my Z Fold 5, as it was handy for jotting down quick notes or sketching ideas when inspiration struck. The stylus support made the foldable feel like a legitimate tablet replacement. When Samsung dropped S Pen support on the Fold 7 for a thinner and lighter chassis, I was disappointed. That decision gave Google the perfect opening to add a killer productivity feature to the Pixel 11 Fold.

Chrome usually updates automatically when a new version is available. You can manually check for updates via the menu option Help → About Google Chrome (alternatively, Settings → About Google Chrome).

Chrome just patched 320+ security flaws, and paid $25K for one of them
