Edgar Cervantes / Android Authority TL;DR Chrome’s been playing around with menu ordering for opening links in new tabs over the past couple years. If you’re used to opening tabs in groups, you may have a preference for where that selection falls in the list. Chrome now offers a flag that gives users full control over that order. Everyone’s got their own opinions when it comes to browser tabs. Some of us are fastidious, keeping tabs organized, and staying on top of closing unneeded ones. Oth

Magic: The Gathering‘s new Final Fantasy set is an absolute love letter to the beloved RPG series, with hundreds of cards making a flavorful nod to their source material in one way or another. But one of the most fun references in a set filled with them almost didn’t make it in—thanks to a quibble between Wizards of the Coast and Square Enix’s translation teams.

Meta’s Oakley Smart Glasses Could Spell the End for GoPros

Smart glasses are complicated. They have to be thin but also big enough to fit all of the important tech. They ought to be more than just glorified Bluetooth audio devices, too, since we already have those; they definitely have to fit a camera that doesn’t suck and a voice assistant that can get the job done. On top of all of the technical constraints, there’s also one burden that makes them different than other wearables—they absolutely, positively, cannot look dorky on your face. Because of th

While Google says it won’t do this on its own Pixel phones, the feature comes as the company is facing growing regulatory pressure. For many years, Google Assistant was widely seen as the best
