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 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.

How can Google make Android seem better than iPhone OS?  Google is planning an outstanding redesign of Android UI with a new focus on touch-friendly interface elements. Android's look is based on Material Design. This concept was introduced in 2014 alongside Android 5.0 L. It hasn't changed all that much since then. It's flat. It's colorful. It's simple. According to a report from Bloomberg , Google is looking to shake things up with its annual Android upgrade this year. Citing unnamed sources, Bloomberg says the all-new look could be designed to “persuade more iPhone users to switch”. It’s unclear exactly what form this new design will take, however, it seems likely this is a reference to the long-rumored Material Design 2. It’s unclear whether these will also appear in Android P, which is likely to be unveiled during Google’s annual developer conference, dubbed Google IO. Google has confirmed it will hold its conference in California from Ma...

Google is finally ready to send the ad blocking feature live. In the next coming days, Chrome users shall start seeing fewer advertisements. This is a big step for Chrome users, as it will block some of the more annoying advertisements. The first thing you should know about Chrome’s new ad blocker is that it obviously isn’t going to block all of the ads you see on the internet. Instead, Chrome’s ad blocker is geared toward stopping specific types of ads from appearing on desktop and mobile.

The goal is to push publishers to drop the worst kind of ads, ones that drive users to install blanket ad blockers. The standards focus on 12 types of ads users find annoying, such as ...
