There is a variety of operating systems in the market ranging from Linux, macOS, Android, and Windows as well. Google Chrome is a browser that is available on most platforms but sometimes it is difficult to copy content from one operating system and to paste it on the other platform.

This feature will provide users of Google Chrome a shared clipboard that can be accessed easily on all devices consisting of Windows, Linux, macOS, and Android.

This shared clipboard feature already exists on Windows 10 but the core purpose behind the launch of this feature among all platforms is to provide a center particle of Google Chrome that unites all these platforms with the help of the browser.
