Today, Opera announced an update to Opera One, its iOS browser, with multiple improvements to tab viewing, searching, managing, and more. Here are the details. Tab groups, search, swipes, and more Most iOS users fall into two main categories: those who close a tab immediately after they’re done with it (even if they’re bound to open that same website again in a few minutes), and those who never, ever close their tabs. Opera is out today with an update to its Opera One browser on iOS, which wi

7 features I want Chrome to steal from its rivals, and why

Ryan Haines / Android Authority I’ve been on the Chrome bandwagon for years now and it remains my go-to browser even today. But let’s just say, I haven’t been entirely faithful to Chrome. Over the years, I’ve dabbled in a wide variety of browsers ranging from Edge to modern AI-infused alternatives to see what I might be missing out on. And while I keep coming back to Chrome, it’s clear to me that Google has been playing it safe. I haven’t been entirely faithful to Chrome, and that’s exactly wh

Say goodbye to tab overload with Samsung’s latest Browser feature

Hadlee Simons / Android Authority TL;DR The beta version of the Samsung Internet Browser app has gained a new feature called “Auto close settings.” Turning this setting on allows the app to close unused tabs for you. Users can choose to clear inactive tabs after a set number of days or have AI decide if a tab should be closed. When using a mobile browser, it’s easy to forget how many tabs you have open. And it’s even easier to forget to close those tabs. Having too many tabs open can lead to

The Tabs vs. Spaces war is over, and spaces have emerged victorious

The great indentation war is over and it seems like we have a clear winner. Every now and then, while exploring a new programming language, I inevitably stumble upon a heated debate, often buried deep in a GitHub issue thread, where contributors are passionately arguing over whether the language’s formatter should default to tabs or spaces. Over the past few months, as I’ve been immersing myself in Zig, I encountered one such discussion. It got me thinking: After decades of writing code, how i

Finally! Chrome is getting vertical tabs - why I'm a huge fan, and where you can try them now

Elyse Betters Picaro / ZDNET Chrome is catching up to other browsers with vertical tabs. This feature has been requested for years and is already available in several popular browsers, such as Firefox, Microsoft Edge, Brave, and Vivaldi. And given that Edge, Brave, and Vivaldi are also based on Chromium, this should have been a no-brainer for Google all along. No more third-party extensions Well, according to Windows Report, the Chromium Gerrit (a code review system for Chromium projects) now

Too many open browser tabs? This is still my favorite solution - and has been for years

NoSystem images/Getty Images How many browser tabs do you have open right now? If you're like most people who spend their workday in front of a PC or Mac, the answer is probably "too many to count," and you're staring at a row of icons that offer only the faintest clue of what's on the tab associated with each one. Good luck remembering what's on each page when all you can see are favicons for each tab Screenshot by Ed Bott/ZDNET When tab overload strikes, the usual cure is to declare tab ban

When is tech not hype? Tulips, toilets, trains and tabs

What do I do when I first wake up? I grab my phone. I'm reading the news, browsing Reddit, reading articles on HN, looking up the weather and anything else I might need to know about during the day. It's not until I open my tabs view, to switch back to something, that I realise I've managed to open half a dozen tabs within the space of minutes. In 2004, Mozilla Foundation placed a two-page ad in the New York Times announcing version 1.0 of Firefox. "Are you fed up with your web browser?" the ad

Android TV gets silently updated with more home screen content tabs — whether you like it or not

Aamir Siddiqui / Android Authority TL;DR Android TV devices are receiving new content tabs on the home screen via a server-side update. These new tabs add “Top Selling Movies,” “Popular Movies and Shows,” and “Trending on Google” to the home screen. There’s no way to opt out of the update, so users who dislike the added clutter can consider switching to alternative Android TV launchers. Android TV, as a platform, is still very much around, but it has been overshadowed by Google TV, a content

Firefox 140 launches with both new ESR and stable versions

Firefox's has been reimagined in 2025 to be fast, modern and inviting the first time you run it and every day after. We've always had your back on privacy, and still do. We think the browser should be a piece of software you can rely on to have your back, pleasant to look at and working seamlessly with the web. Why is Firefox sending me notifications from websites I don't have open? Firefox supports web push notifications, which allow websites to send alerts even when they are not open. If you

Keep accidentally opening Chrome tabs in new groups? There’s an easy fix

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
