    Adobe Flash’s Slow Death Continues With Google Chrome Intelligent Pause

    There are myriad of ways to improve the battery-life of a laptop, but one of the best is to disable CPU-intensive (or perhaps even GPU-intensive) browser plugins. Adobe's Flash is a perfect example of this. While Flash animations can be detrimental with regards to battery-life, it's made worse when an element in the background is running a video. It's just bad news, and Google realizes it all-too-well.

    That being the case, the company will soon be introducing a new feature to its Chrome Web browser that lets users disable all Flash content by default, or let Chrome decide which content should be displayed. In the latter case, if some Flash is deemed to be unimportant to the website experience (such as side elements), it will be disabled, whereas a Flash-based video player inside of the content area may automatically be enabled.
    image: http://hothardware.com/ContentImages...%20Blocker.jpg
    If Chrome is wrong in guessing that a Flash element wasn't important, users can simply click on it to activate it. This functionality mimics popular browser extensions that have existed for a long time, so it's great to see that Google is giving its users one more extension to uninstall, if they happened to use it.
    Google teases that it will be rolling out even more power improvements in the months ahead, and encourages us to "stay tuned". Believe us, we will!

    Google reverts back to previous version of Chrome's bookmark manager after public outcry



    You are probably trying to forget when Google updated bookmarks in Chrome at the end of last year. Well don’t worry, the company has quietly changed gears and switched back to the old one. Last year’s version, while seemingly an improvement across the board with a “nicer” layout, images, a handy search and more, was not popular with users. After remaining quiet regarding the public’s vehement disapproval, Google has reverted to the previous version as it heads back to the drawing board.
    Users felt the updated version was difficult to use, and despite its overall improved look, just wasn’t what the doctor ordered. Users preferred the slimmmed-down, lightweight approach of the previous version, as you can see from these Google Product forum responses.
    Even though it didn’t get it right the first time around, the Chrome team will continue to experiment with bookmark manager options and new ways “to improve the experience” as a whole.
    However, for those of you that did enjoy the new experience, Google has wrapped it up into a handy browser extension known as Bookmark Manager. For those that don’t want that new experience and can’t seem to get rid of it, you’ll just need to update your browser. Hit the “Chrome” menu or that hamburger menu on the top right corner of your browser window and select About Google Chrome. From there you can enable auto updates or manually take the step up (back?) to the previous bookmarks manger.

    Google Chrome has snuck in an audio listener onto your PC

    If you're a Google Chrome user, on the 17th of June your browser will have downloaded and installed an audio listener onto your computer as reported by We Are Change.


    This was discovered by a user noticing that microphone and audio capture were now switched automatically to "Yes" on their PC, allowing Google to listen in to what's going on through the help of your beloved internet browser without consent.

    Said to be added in order to ensure "Ok, Google" working quickly and efficiently, many users are upset about this claimed breach of their privacy as it basically means Google can listen in at any time without asking you to install this update.

    Chrome Update Adds Audio-snooping Code, Capable Of Listening Conversations

    If private conversations were to be eavesdropped, tech companies would have the highest database. Privacy seems to be the most important concern to users as well as these companies. However, the recent news figures it otherwise. Google has seeded an update to Chrome which is capable of hearing private computers taking place near the devices running the application. This not only invades the privacy rights of consumers but leaks away sensitive information for whatever purpose the company uses it.

    This was first found by an open source developer who claims that Chrome’s update by Google has installed audio-snooping codes which has the potential to listen users via the built-in mic in their devices. This feature was initially designed for hotword detection like ”OK, Google” on Google Chrome. However, it could be that Google might have opened other uses to the field.
    Chrome Update Capable Of Eavesdropping Private Conversations

    The audio-snooping code is considerably known as the ‘black box’. There have been instances that developers report about the triggering of mic without users intervening. Chrome’s open and free distant cousin, Chromium has also received the same default update with an inclusion of the same module. Regarding the subject, the Pirate party founder stated:





    “Without consent, Google’s code had downloaded a black box of code that – according to itself – had turned on the microphone and was actively listening to your room. Which means that your computer had been stealth configured to send what was being said in your room to somebody else, to a private company in another country, without your consent or knowledge, an audio transmission triggered by … an unknown and unverifiable set of conditions.”
    With the world becoming a series of connected devices, the black box module has moved to various devices that users use at home and office. henceforth, chances of your conversations getting leaked for other purposes is highly likely. To avoid turning your Chrome running device in to a secret agent, you should go for the opt out option. However, Falkvinge stated that a hardware button is required to turn of webcam and mic within a device.
    Google’s spokesperson says that the company has no intention to listen to conversations. The feature is available for users who opt in to use their device with voice based commands. This is it for now, guys. We will keep you updated on this for more news.

    Google’s Covert Snooping Tool Installed Without User Consent


    Google’s reputation with privacy advocates is pretty abysmal and the latest revelation that audio footage has been monitored on PCs without permission will do little to improve matters. Open source developers noticed a peculiar line of code via the Chromium browser which analyzes background noise. In theory, this technology is implemented to offer rudimentary voice commands when the end user proclaims, “OK Google”. While this might add convenience to slower typists or people with impaired eyesight, it is designed to be an optional extra. In a developer blog post, a Google representative clarified, “First and foremost, while we do download the hotword module on startup, we *do not* activate it unless you opt into hotwording. If you go into “chrome://settings”, you will see a checkbox “Enable “Ok Google” to start a voice search”. This should be unchecked by default, and if you do not check it, the hotword module will not be started”.
    There has been some contrasting evidence from irate developers who claim the software is enabled without user permission and contravenes the Chromium’s Open source ethos. Ofer Zelig is a vocal example and shared his personal experience:
    “Google says the module is there so the browser could respond to “OK Google”. But what if I don’t want it at all? why injecting such a privacy-sensitive module in the first place instead of asking me whether I deliberately want this feature?”
    Thankfully, under growing pressure from developers and privacy commentators, Google has now removed the speech module from Chromium recognizing that the inclusion couldn’t be classified as a piece of Open source code. It’s difficult to deduce if the automatic monitoring behavior was intentional or Google simply underestimated the widespread privacy concerns. Clearly, Google isn’t a trustworthy company when it comes to data sharing and it will take a miracle for industry peers and consumers to begin sharing information at ease.

    Chrome Blocking Major Torrent Sites Over "Harmful Programs"

    While I am sure it sucks to have your torrent site blocked by Chrome, I think we all know why Google is doing it.


    Starting today Google Chrome is blocking direct access to several large torrent sites including KickassTorrents, Torrentz, ExtraTorent and RARBG. According to Google the sites contain "harmful programs" but the site owners are clueless as to what they've done wrong.

    Google's 'Safe Browsing' Program To Block More Websites With 'Unwanted Software'

    Whether it's through its Chrome browser, search engine, or other services, Google has been trying to increase security on the Web by pushing more aggressively for standards and policies that help protect the users.
    About a year ago, Google started warning Chrome users about "unwanted software," which the company defines through the following basic characteristics:

    • It is deceptive, promising a value proposition that it does not meet.
    • It tries to trick users into installing it or it piggybacks on the installation of another program.
    • It doesn't tell the user about all of its principal and significant functions.
    • It affects the user's system in unexpected ways.
    • It is difficult to remove.
    • It collects or transmits private information without the user's knowledge.
    • It is bundled with other software, and its presence is not disclosed.

    In the coming weeks, Google will increase its focus on this type of security and announced that users should expect to see more warnings in Chrome (and other browsers that support Safe Browsing) about sites that offer such software. The unwanted software could appear on websites through a variety of methods, including through ad injectors or through ad networks lacking strict quality guidelines.
    The new unwanted software protections are part of the Safe Browsing program, which includes protections against sites that are infected with malware, or against dangerous file downloads. Google Safe Browsing's lists of malware or phishing websites are also used by Firefox and Safari.
    Google promised that the program won't be used beyond the declared objectives:
    “We want to be really clear that Google Safe Browsing's mandate remains unchanged: we're exclusively focused on protecting users from malware, phishing, unwanted software, and similar harm. You won't see Safe Browsing warnings for any other reasons," said Google's Safe Browsing team in a blog post.
    A few days ago, a popular torrent site was blocked in Chrome showing the exact same message that the unwanted software warnings will show. This could have been part of Google's earlier testing for the new protections integrated into Safe Browsing. However, Google never made it clear whether this was an error on its own part or whether the site had malware at the time (that the site owners got rid of later).
    Filtering programs such as Google's Safe Browsing are powerful tools that can protect against most malicious sources but can also block sites that shouldn't be blocked, which is why both Google and users of the Safe Browsing program on Chrome, Firefox or Safari need to be vigilant about what gets blocked.

    Chrome 44 update includes multiple improvements and security fixes




    Google’s latest version of Chrome has moved to the stable (general availability) channel and is now available for Windows, Mac and Linux. Chrome 44.0.2403.89 contains a number of improvements and security fixes, many of which were discovered by external researchers.
    The majority of bugs found and remedied were of the high priority nature. In lieu of posting the entire change log, those looking to dig deeper can check out the bugs reported by security researchers here while those found by Googlers can be viewed by clicking here.
    Of the 43 security fixes, 19 were reported by people outside of Google through its Chrome bug bounty program.
    Late last year, the search giant increased the maximum reward pricing from $5,000 to $15,000, giving security researchers even more incentive to work with instead of against Google. Particularly great reports can earn even more money, as evident by this $30,000 payout.
    This time around, Google collectively paid out nearly $40,000 to researchers and is still debating on how much to award four reports.
    That may sound like a lot of money but in reality, it’s a drop in the bucket for Google and is likely a fraction of what some of its developers and debuggers earn. Furthermore, each new bug that is reported through the bounty program is one less headache to worry about should a vulnerability get exploited for nefarious purposes.
    You can download Chrome 44 for Windows by clicking here. If you need the Mac or Linux versions, those can be had here and here, respectively.

    Chrome Extension Enables Self-Destructing E-mails

    I'm not saying this Chrome extension was designed to send pictures of your junk to friends with a two second timer....but you know it's gonna happen.


    The extension adds a "Send with Dmail" button next to the usual "Send" button in Gmail, which differs from "Undo send" in that it allows users to set the time limits on their email as long as they want. Undo send only gives users up to 30 seconds to retract whatever message they regret immediately after sending.

    Google Tests Tab Suspension in Desktop Chrome


    For those that are always up to a lot, having many browser tabs open is pretty common. Right now for instance, I have 61 open in Chrome right now, eating up about 6GB of my precious ram. Doubtless there are days where I have more those with less but even with my low of 40ish tabs, Chrome is my main memory hog. I’m not using all the tabs at once, but Chrome currently sees fit to have everything running at 100% whether or not I am on it or not. That is all set to change as the nightly builds of Chrome seem set on adding a feature known as Tab Discarding and Reloading.
    Tab Discarding and Reloading will let Chrome unload what it deems less necessary and important tabs. Don’t worry about your tabs constantly reloading as you switch back and forth like on mobile as Chrome will only discard a tab when it is in a memory constraint scenario. The tabs are not moved to swap so each time you do reload a tab, you will require an internet connection. On the plus side, your position in the tab and any text you have does appear to be saved.
    In order to try out the feature, you can get onto the nightly build of Chrome and enable the flag under chrome://flags/#enable-tab-discarding. To check out the order your tabs would drop, you can visit chrome://discards. If the Chrome feature is anything like the Chromium OS implementation, the drop order should be the same as below. What do you think about Chrome trying to use less memory by discarding tabs or do you think actually using less memory be a better solution?

    1. Internal pages like new tab page, bookmarks, etc.
    2. Tabs selected a long time ago
    3. Tabs selected recently
    4. Tabs playing audio
    5. Apps running in a window
    6. Pinned tabs
    7. The selected tab

    Tired of Adobe Flash Security Vulnerabilities? Here’s How to Disable Flash in Chrome

    Adobe Flash remains at the center of various security concerns reported in the recent months, including yesterday’s Yahoo ad network being hacked through unpatched Flash vulnerabilities. While Apple doesn’t natively support Flash with its Safari browser or its devices, Chrome still comes with Flash enabled.
    How to disable Flash in Chrome on Mac or Windows:

    Considering several high security risks that Flash exposes your computers to, it might be a good idea to disable Flash in Chrome on all your devices, including OS X or Windows machines. This doesn’t mean that you won’t be able to use the websites still utilizing this plugin, including the mass favorite YouTube, as you can tweak the settings to have it run when needed. You will have the choice to disable Flash plugin completely or when the Flash player is allowed to run. Follow these steps to disable Flash in Chrome and get rid of the security vulnerabilities.





    1. Go to chrome://settings
    2. Click on Show advanced settings…
    3. Under the Privacy section, click on Content settings… tab
    4. In the pop-up windows, under the Plugins section,
      1. Check the Let me choose when to plugin content if you want to have the handle of playing Flash videos and other items in your browser. This will also rid you of those annoying video ads based on Flash. You can always choose to play them but they won’t run automatically.
      2. OR, you can check the detect and run important plugin content if you don’t want the hassle of playing everything by yourself. This option, when enabled, will help Chrome moderate when it is necessary to run Flash content on a site. Chrome will automatically run that content for you.

    5. When you want to view a disabled Flash video or other item on a site, right or control-click it and select Run This Plugin from the context menu. Your selected video will then start playing.

    If you want to completely disable Flash,

    • Click on Manage individual plugins… under the same Plugins section of the Content settings windows.
    • Click on Disable to disable Adobe Flash completely.

    These are a very few and simple steps to help your machine stay safe from the innumerable vulnerabilities that Adobe Flash exposes you to. Not to forget Flash’s resource hogging activities too. Choose the options best suited to your consumption of Flash-based content while still managing your security.

    EFF Finally Launches Privacy Browser Extension

    The Electronic Frontier Foundation, after over a year of development, has released Privacy Badger 1.0 for Firefox and Chrome.


    The Electronic Frontier Foundation (EFF) today released Privacy Badger 1.0, a browser extension that blocks some of the sneakiest trackers that try to spy on your Web browsing habits. The new Privacy Badger 1.0 includes blocking of certain kinds of super-cookies and browser fingerprinting—the latest ways that some parts of the online tracking industry try to follow Internet users from site to site.

    How to Fix Chrome Crashes in Windows 10 – Tips and Tricks


    Some Windows 10 users are reporting Chrome crashing issue after updating to the latest build. If you too are having troubles with Chrome on Windows 10, here is how to try fixing this issue.
    New Windows 10 Activation Rules – What You Need to Know


    Fix Windows 10 Chrome crashes:

    Microsoft released Windows 10 build 10525 yesterday, initiating a new wave of Windows 10 updates bringing more features to the operating system. However, after this update some users are reporting a Chrome crash problem. In a typical Chrome-like fashion, websites stop loading and all the plugins and extensions crash with the annoying “Aw, Snap! Something went wrong while displaying this webpage. Closing the apps and tabs that you don’t need may help by making more memory available” message.
    Here are two Windows 10 tips to help you get rid of this Chrome crash problem on your new operating system.



    1. Reinstall Chrome 32-bit version which is reported to fix the issue.
    2. Alternatively, right-click on the Chrome shortcut in Start menu. In the end of the target path, type no-sandbox. This will help you keep the 64-bit version of the browser.

    The second method may affect the stability of the app but you will find the crashing issue sorted. We expect Google to fix this problem soon and would update this post with any more possible and official fixes as they come.
    Remember, Gabriel Aul had mentioned in the blog to be aware of some of the issues present in the first post-launch Preview build 10525. However, the 64-bit Chrome issue wasn’t included in the known errors’ list. Microsoft initiated a new wave of Windows 10 updates helping insiders get the flavor of new features and improvements that might be introduced in the operating system in future. Let us know what you think of the new feature changes introduced in the OS.

    Google Chrome plans to combat auto-play videos

    If there is one thing a lot of us don’t take too kindly to on the internet, it is auto-play videos on sites in the background. Google already made finding which tab is playing audio a little easier last year with a new speaker icon displayed on tabs with audio, but now Google wants to stop background tabs from playing videos entirely.
    In a post from Chrome engineer, François Beaufort, upcoming plans to stop auto-playing videos were revealed. In a future update, Chrome will start blocking auto-play videos from playing as long as they are in the background tab. The videos will still be loading in the background and when you click on to that tab, the videos will eventually play.

    This will help prevent any annoying background audio that you weren’t expecting. Unfortunately, it doesn’t look like Chrome is going to ask for user permission before allowing a video to play but this new method will be a bit less intrusive for many users.
    There isn’t much word on how this will work with things like YouTube or Twitch. Under this new system, it sounds like if you’ve set up a YouTube playlist for music listening or maybe for podcasts, you will need to click back on to the relevant tab every time you want the next video to play, so the feature does have some drawbacks.
