The ability to move multiple tabs to a new window is being ported from Microsoft Edge to Google Chrome.

What you need to know

Microsoft isn’t only taking Google’s browser tech for its own.
The company is also contributing to the Chromium project.
A feature found in Microsoft Edge is being ported over to Chromium and Chrome.

While Microsoft may have thrown up its arms and submitted to Google’s dominance in the browser space by porting Edge to the Chromium engine last year, there are certainly no hard feelings between the two tech giants.

An exchange between a Microsoft and a Google engineer working on the Chromium project showcasing the collaborative spirit has been making waves in the Windows Insiders subreddit. In it, a Google’s Leonard Grey asks Justin Gallagher from Microsoft if he’d be so kind as to help port a feature found in Microsoft Edge to the Chromium project — and to Google’s own browser as a result. Gallagher graciously obliges, of course:

There’s no ETA for when the ban will be lifted.

What you need to know

The Chrome Web Store will no longer accept paid extensions.
Updates to paid extensions already published have also been blocked.
The change in policy is a temporary measure aimed at halting a tide of fraudulent transactions involving the extension marketplace.

While Google this week launched experiments that make its browser much harder to use, it’s also been dealing with others’ attempts to mess with Chrome. Over the weekend, Simeon Vincent, Extensions Developer Advocate at Google, told Chrome Web Store developers that the company was temporarily suspending all paid extensions.

This means that paid extensions will no longer be accepted into the Chrome Web Store, and those that have already been published will no longer receive updates.

Google explained the rather harsh change by referring to a recent uptick in fraudulent transactions involving the paid extensions. Vincent further clarified that this was not… 閱讀全文 →

The bottom bar only has three buttons now.

What you need to know

Google has redesigned its redesign for mobile Chrome.
The bottom bar in the Duet design now has only three buttons.
The home page has also been changed — and not in a good way.

Google is once again tinkering with the design of its browser on mobile devices. Dubbed ‘Duet,’ the design aims to provide a more convenient browsing experience in today’s world of 7-inch smartphones. The big change here is the company’s decision to move many of the browser’s tools and settings to the bottom of the screen, where they can more easily be reached via one-handed use.

However, Google wasn’t satisfied with its initial idea and moved the URL bar back to the top, leaving everything else below. Now, the company is fiddling around with the design again (via Android Police), seemingly because its engineers think five buttons on the bottom bar are two buttons too many; it was already struggling with figuring out how to cleanly incorp… 閱讀全文 →

Can’t make it to your Duo video call? You can now send a one-off note.

What you need to know

Google is rolling out a new feature in Duo that lets you send one-off notes when you’re unable to answer a video call.
You get to choose from several background colors, fonts, and brushes.
The feature will roll out globally this week to users on Android and iOS devices.
Similar to calls and video messages, notes are end-to-end encrypted.

What’s interesting is that you get a decent amount of customizability, with eight background colors, six fonts, and three brush strokes to choose from. You can also resize, move, and rotate the text to make your note that much more personal. Here’s a better idea of what the notes … 閱讀全文 →

It’s 2020, and flagship smartphones are all nearly a thousand dollars or more. But as high-end phones get more expensive, cheaper phones are getting better. Phones under $300 are beautifully designed, with great screens, super-long battery life, excellent cameras, and awesome speakers. We’ve researched and ranked all of the best cheap Android phones you can buy, and with our buyer’s guide, you’ll find the perfect phone for you.

Best Overall: Moto G7

The Moto G7 and its other budget counterparts on this list have impressive, high-resolution touchscreens, reliable software, and great cameras. Some features, like NFC, drive up manufacturing costs, so you have to weigh whether you need NFC-enabled features like mobile payments. And the Moto G7 also lacks the same graphical power as its more expensive competitors, but most games play without issue, even at medium or high settings, because Android games are designed to play on hardware of all sizes and prices.

In the interview, things take a bit of a jarring, messy turn.

The assailant disposing of Forge is none other than Revenant, who has been teased in the past. The implications of thi… 閱讀全文 →
