The streaming device competition gained a new entrant just a few months ago when the Google 4K TV Streamer debuted, replacing the relatively shortlived Chromecast with Google TV dongle. Google pitched the TV Streamer as a big improvement over the Chromecast, and so far that seems to be right on the money. The Google TV Streamer is also right for the money during Amazon’s limited-time 21% off deal that drops the price lower than ever to just $79. The only discouraging words to greet the Google 4

It only took 20 years: Browsers have long exposed visited link history to malicious websites, enabling attackers to profile users or run phishing campaigns. By isolating link history with a new partitioning model, Chrome could close off an entire class of privacy attacks – potentially setting a new standard for safer web browsing. Browsers have mishandled visited site tracking since the early days of the internet. Google is now working to fix the issue with Chrome. The browser's next update wil

Google is fixing a long-standing privacy issue that, for years, enabled websites to determine users' browsing history through the previously visited links. The problem arises from allowing sites to style links as ':visited,' meaning showing them as another color instead of the default blue if a user had previously clicked on them. The system displays this color change regardless of which site they were on when they clicked the link, allowing other sites to potentially use creative scripts tha

The Internet might look a bit different on Android soon. Last month, Google announced its intent to make Chrome for Android a more immersive experience by hiding the navigation bar background. The promised edge-to-edge update is now rolling out to devices on Chrome version 135, giving you a touch more screen real estate. However, some websites may also be a bit harder to use. Moving from button to gesture navigation reduced the amount of screen real estate devoted to the system UI, which leaves
