The tech giant put digital ads on social media with the Google Chrome branding, and had an on-site activation. “We want to start building… Source link

The news: Google is putting ads in the hands of Chrome users with a new hub called My Ad Center. Accessible from every ad across Google’s ecosystem from search to YouTube, the ad center allows users to modify their experience on Chrome in several ways.

After ignoring the app experience on Android tablets for years, Google appears increasingly focused on turning things around. Earlier this year, the search giant introduced Android 12L, which brought an improved interface and multitasking experience to tablets and foldable. At the developer conference Google IO in May, it promised to finetune over 20 of its own apps for the tablet experience.

These passkeys use public-key cryptography, so if they’re involved in a data breach, they’re useless to bad actors without your face or your fingerprint. Similarly, if your laptop or phone gets stolen, your accounts can’t be accessed because you’re not going to be around to provide the necessary authentication. This isn’t just a Google initiative. Organizations such as the FIDO Alliance and the W3C Web Authentication group are busy working toward a passwordless future as well, so you’ll be… Source link

Atlas VPN has bestowed this unwanted title on Chrome after compiling data provided by the VulDB vulnerability database. And it wasn’t even close. More vulnerabilities have been discovered in Google… Source link

It’s a day with y in the name, so that must mean another Google Chrome security update. All joking aside, being a Chrome browser user does bring a sense of update Deja-vu along for the ride. Although I’d rather these things were found, largely by independent security researchers it must be said, and fixed, than left awaiting discovery by nefarious parties. In the case of the 20 problems patched by Chrome 106.0.5249.61 (for Mac and Linux users) and 106.0.5249.61/62 (for Windows users), some… Source link
