Since its release in 2008, Google Chrome has remained one of the most popular web browsers for its ease of use, G-Suite integration, and superb performance across multiple platforms.
Created as part of the Google Chromium Project, the open-source project launched Google Chrome as a web browser that’s free for anyone to try or use and enjoys internet-wide compatibility. Anyone with a Google email address (i.e., almost anyone with an internet connection) can seamlessly sync and personalize their account with Chrome for an optimized and familiar experience. You can also import bookmarks and settings from your previous browser, set your name and picture for your Chrome account, or open a new link to manage your Google account features directly.
Google Chrome even offers features to save you time and effort, including managing logins, checking for password breaches, making and securing online transactions, and saving and auto-filling address information. Of course, none of these incredible features will do you any good if your version of Chrome is out-of-date and unable to function properly.

Apple is less than a day away from launching its highly anticipated OLED MacBook Pro with a touch-sensitive screen. But it appears that the upgrade is going to cost a pretty penny. According to a report by Bloomberg, Apple is reportedly eyeing a starting price of $2,899 for the 14-inch MacBook Pro, while the 16-inch version could start at $3,399 in the US.
"At $2,899, the 14-inch model would mark the highest starting price for a new MacBook Pro model, surpassing the $2,799 Apple charged for a 17-inch version introduced in 2006," says the report. The report claims that Apple is targeting a minimum price hike of $400 for its upcoming redesigned 14-inch and 16-inch MacBook Pro models.
I've spent a good amount of time digging into the spec sheet of the new M6 MacBook Pro (14-inch), and for all intents and purposes, this is a classic Apple "chip and connectivity" refresh. It's not a full redesign. The chassis, Liquid Retina XDR panel, speakers, ports, and battery, all of them carry over unchanged.
However, the M6 brings more cores, stronger on-device AI, higher memory bandwidth on the larger configs, and modern wireless. Here’s the practical rundown of what actually improved, and whether those gains are worth your money.
