Themes have been a part of the Chrome experience for many years. 3rd-party themes are numerous in the Chrome Web Store and come in all colors and variants. There are a few that are really well done and a few that I wouldn’t wish on my worst enemy. After all these years of allowing others […]
In the very near future, we will bid adieu to Google+ as it sails into the sunset never to return. As we approach our third year as a “Space for all things Chrome,” we owe a lot of our success to Google’s social sharing platform and as much as we will miss it, the time […]
