bleepingcomputer.com Unknown 2025-09-18 17:23:14

Google has released emergency security updates to patch a Chrome zero-day vulnerability, the sixth one tagged as exploited in attacks since the start of the year. While it didn't specifically say whether this security flaw is still being actively abused in the wild, the company warned that it has a public exploit, a common indicator of active exploitation. "Google is aware that an exploit for CVE-2025-10585 exists in the wild," Google warned in a security advisory published on Wednesday. This

This $12 accessory gave my Chromecast with Google TV a new lease on life

androidauthority.com Unknown 2025-09-20 23:00:33

Edgar Cervantes / Android Authority It’s safe to say that the Chromecast with Google TV is a basic Android streaming device. It packs exactly one USB-C port used for powering the device and an HDMI tongue to output video — that’s it. This design, while perfect for travel and keeping cable mess to a minimum, is rubbish for those who perhaps want a little more functionality. I wasn’t looking for everything and the kitchen sink when I purchased my Chromecast with Google TV, but rather a compact p

Judge: Google can keep Chrome, must share search data with “qualified competitors”

arstechnica.com Unknown 2025-10-12 07:20:00

Google has avoided the worst-case scenario in the pivotal search antitrust case brought by the US Department of Justice. More than a year ago, the Department of Justice (DOJ) secured a major victory when Google was found to have violated the Sherman Antitrust Act. The remedy phase took place earlier this year, with the DOJ calling for Google to divest the market-leading Chrome browser, release data to competitors, and end many of its search distribution deals.

Acer Chromebook Plus Spin 514 review: The new ChromeOS sweet spot

engadget.com Unknown 2025-10-13 14:00:14

In the last few years, I’ve felt like Chromebooks have hit a plateau. ChromeOS is a quirky but mature platform at this point, and Google has continued to add smart and useful features on a regular basis. But the hardware has felt pretty stagnant, with a few exceptions. Most Chromebooks at this point are utilitarian devices that get the job done but inspire little excitement, and I’ve found most Intel-based Chromebooks don’t get me through a day of work before the battery dies. But earlier this

Google will not have to divest its Chrome browser but will have to change some of its business practices, a federal judge has ruled. The ruling comes more than a year after the same judge ruled that Google had acted illegally to maintain a monopoly in internet search.
