I tried Arc browser’s smarter sibling so you don’t have to — but you might want to

androidauthority.com Unknown 2025-09-02 22:00:45

Karandeep Singh / Android Authority No other browser developer is making as much of a buzz in the tech community as The Browser Company, the makers of Arc. While Arc was one of the most offbeat web browsers I’ve used (and stuck to!) in a long time, it didn’t garner the widespread appeal the company had hoped for. That’s why it has now switched gears to Dia — a web browser built from the ground up around generative AI. It integrates deep into your workflow, intelligently talks to your open tabs,

ZDNET's key takeaways The Lenovo Flex 5i Chromebook Plus is on sale for $600. It excels as an inexpensive work laptop thanks to its comfortable keyboard, solid hardware, and useful features in ChromeOS. Its sub-standard touchscreen will limit usability for some.

When averaging 50 miles per week, I can burn through a pair in a little over a month, and then it’s time to treat myself. That said, I’m not made of money.

Microsoft's Family Safety Feature Is Blocking Chrome: Here's the Workaround

cnet.com See Full Bio 2025-09-02 11:44:00

Microsoft's Family Safety feature is designed to block certain types of websites from children. Apparently, it's also been blocking Google's Chrome browser -- but there is a workaround. Chrome, a web browser launched by Google in 2008 -- is not working when users have the Family Safety Feature enabled. The first report of the bug seems to date to June 3, when a user posted on Google's online support board. The user noted that Chrome constantly closed when the person tried to use it. Restarti

Having trouble opening Chrome? It may be Microsoft’s fault

androidauthority.com Unknown 2025-09-03 01:13:29

Rita El Khoury / Android Authority TL;DR A bug is preventing Windows users from opening Google’s Chrome browser. The bug is connected to Microsoft’s Family Safety feature. There are a few workarounds, like renaming Chrome.exe to Chrome1.exe. Microsoft isn’t afraid to deploy tactics to nudge you away from Chrome. For example, earlier this year, Bing users were running into a pop-up that discouraged them from switching browsers. However, the friction between the two isn’t always intentional, w

Windows parental controls are blocking Chrome

engadget.com Unknown 2025-09-03 17:02:47

Stop me if you've heard this one before: Microsoft is making it harder to use Chrome on Windows. The culprit? This time, it's Windows' Family Safety feature. Since early this month, the parental control measure has prevented users from opening Chrome. Strangely, no other apps or browsers appear to be affected. Redditors first reported the issue on June 3 (via The Verge). u/Witty-Discount-2906 posted that Chrome crashed on Windows 11. "Just flashes quickly, unable to open with no error message,"

News broke today of a "mother of all breaches," sparking wide media coverage filled with warnings and fear-mongering. However, it appears to be a compilation of previously leaked credentials stolen by infostealers, exposed in data breaches, and via credential stuffing attacks. To be clear, this is not a new data breach, or a breach at all, and the websites involved were not recently compromised to steal these credentials.
