A Space for All Things Chrome, Google, and More!
For over 10 years now, Chrome has stuck with roughly a 6-week update scheddule. In a world dominated by slow and spaced out updates for software and firmware, this has always been a breath of fresh air. As Google began rolling out bi-weekly security updates in addition to this 6-week cycle, the writing was on […]
The internet as it is today can be identified by its heavy reliance on advertising at its core. Using personally identifiable information, companies can track individuals and serve them ads based on their interests. However, this has led to major privacy issues and now, the era of the third-party cookie will eventually come to an […]
Over the years, Chrome has become a very helpful browser, but that means it has also become quite a bit more complex. From new features to updates in the underlying way the browser operates, Chrome has become far more capable than it used to be. While that is generally a good thing, it is also […]
Over the next few weeks, Google is going to be rolling out a revamped profile switcher for Chrome on desktop. Not only will it have a new landing page with updated Googley graphics, but it will also feature a fully customizable setup process which will allow a new user to create a space just for […]

It’s Black History Month and Google is using its platform to educate, inspire, and promote diversity. Earlier this month, Google launched a Voices and Stories Collection, a Black History Culture Project, supported Black-owned businesses, and featured the artwork of a Black artist every Monday on the YouTube homepage as a Doodle. Google is further celebrating […]

For example, in my daily work I have to perform many searches – be it to search for an employee on the company Intranet or to search the ticketing system for an existing service request – and […]
If you’re someone who’s using the same Windows computer today that you first played the original Guild Wars on or purchased the year that Youtube and Reddit were born, then you may soon face some difficulty going forward if you prefer the Chrome browser for surfing the web. Though admittedly small, the user base for […]
