Edge is dead — long live Chromium

Microsoft's Edge web browser has seen little success since its debut on Windows 10 in 2015. Edge was designed to be fast, lightweight, and secure, but due to its instability users had rejecting it.

Chromium is an open-source Web browser project started by Google, to provide the source code for Google Chrome browser. The two browsers share the majority of code and features, though there are some minor differences in features and logos, and they have different licensing.

Microsoft could soon shift to a Chromium-based browser in Windows 10. Thus using Chromium in Windows 10 means websites should behave just like they do on Google Chrome in Microsoft's new browser, meaning users shouldn't suffer from the same instability and performance issues found in Edge today.

Google Plus is going to shut down soon, but that is not what you have to be worried about!

Google is shutting down its Google+ social network. A bug exposed the private information of hundreds of thousands of Google+ users between 2015 and March 2018, when the company became aware of the breach, according to a recent report in The Wall Street Journal . Because the company kept a limited set of activity logs, it was unable to determine which users were affected and what types of data may potentially have been improperly collected. The bug existed since 2015, and it is unclear whether a larger number of users may have been affected over that time. In its contracts with paid users of G Suite apps, Google tells customers it will notify them about any incidents involving their data “promptly and without undue delay” and will “promptly take reasonable steps to minimize harm.” That requirement may not apply to Google+ profile data, however, even if it belonged to a G Suite customer.
