Mirroring your Pixel device screen to Chromebook will be easier soon
Google is trying many ways recently to replicate Apple, from Nearby Share to chipset, this time Google is making it easier to mirror your Pixel device screen content onto your Chromebook.

On your Pixel devices recent app page, you will see additional option named "Push" which you will be treated with a popup and you can choose which device you want to mirror the content. It will probably require both devices to be on the same connection (home network preferred) in order use the feature.

The Push option is under com.google.pixel.exo application control range, so it could possibly be a Pixel exclusive feature. (9To5Google)

Pixel 6 bringing back Active Edge feature, also fabric cases leaked
If you miss the Active Edge on Pixel 5, good news is that Google is bringing back the feature on the Pixel 6. This feature allow you to activate stuff on your device like Google Assistant by squeezing your phone.

Also fabric cases by Google for the Pixel 6 family has been leaked by Roland Quandt. Pixel 6 will get Stormy Sky, Light Rain, Cotton Candy. Meanwhile Pixel 6 Pro getting Stormy Sky, Light Frost, Golden Glow, Soft Sage cases.

UPDATE:
It probably a false alarm. The case listings in question just duplicate the text from previous cases. Recent Pixel phones without Active Edge support also have the same placeholder text. So yeah, we gonna wait till the day it is release to know the exact answer. (Android Authority)
