I always install Chrome Beta on all my Android phones; here’s why

androidauthority.com Unknown 2026-02-18 02:30:47

Rita El Khoury / Android Authority It’s been more than 13 years since Chrome first launched on Android. Fundamentally, the app hasn’t changed much in all these years: I type a URL and the page loads up. In all these years, though, Chrome hasn’t caught up with the rest of Google’s apps in one key feature: multiple account support. Most of the official Google apps let me quickly switch between different Google accounts, and they have done that for many years now, since 2010-2011, to be precise.

As part of a periodic purge of unused online accounts, I deleted my account from a company ten months ago. Let’s call that company Contoso. I received a confirmation that said, “Your personal information and items associated with your account have now been deleted. This action is permanent and cannot be reversed.” Yesterday, I got an email from Contoso informing me that they have updated their Privacy Policy.

The trackers can easily be factory reset and paired with a new Android device. Reddit users spotted that the issue affects multiple brands, with Chipolo confirming the flaw. Google recently rebranded its Find My Device network as Find Hub, but an issue users are just discovering suggests that it still lacks a key security feature. Redditors have realized that F

Donald Trump and Sean Hannity Set Off a Wave of Disinformation After Iran Bombing

wired.com David Gilbert 2026-03-02 20:33:31

President Donald Trump and his most vocal supporters have been using disinformation, fake videos, and mental gymnastics to try to spin the US military’s bombing of three Iranian nuclear sites as a complete and total victory that signals the end of a war instead of the beginning. On Saturday night, with the B-2 stealth bombers that dropped a dozen GBU-57 “bunker buster” bombs on the Fordow underground nuclear facility just beginning their flights back to the US, Trump declared the mission a comp

As a parent of three young kids with limited screen time, the prospect of handing them their very own iPad or iPhone sends me into an anxiety-induced spiral.
