Chrome 60 - New Improvements Available In BETA

Chrome 60 is now available for download in the beta channel and brings lots of new features and improvements. The most important seems to be the addition of a new search widget that includes a shortcut allowing users to search Chrome using their voice. Google has also improved the way the browser loads fonts on different websites. Usually, Chrome delays rendering text until the used font is available, which means that until the browser doesn't download it, you will have to wait for the webpage to load. Chrome 60 beta supports the CSS font-face descriptor, which allows users to specify how and when Chrome displays text content while downloading fonts. The new beta version of Chrome includes new payment and password APIs, which makes the browser more secure and faster than ever. For example, sites can now collect payments via native Android payment apps using the new Payment Request API. Many other improvements have been added to Chrome.

Nova Launcher 5.2, Brings Android O Style Notification Dots To Everyone

Nova Launcher has remained default launcher of millions of android users over past few years only because of its features. And with its most recent stable release, version number 5.2, that list grew once again with several new additions. Its biggest feature – Android O-style notification badges – should be enough to satisfy those clamoring for latest Android version's release. In essence, it displays a dot in a user-chosen corner of an app's icon to remind users they have an unread notification. The other new big feature here is a new, round search bar style, which follows the overall move towards round shapes in Android iconography. But apart from that, the only other additions are performance improvements and some stability fixes for Android O. The latest stable version of Nova Launcher is available for download to everyone in the Play Store right now, via the link below. PlayStore

Magisk Manager Removed From Playstore

The popular root access granting app Magisk Manager has been removed from the Play Store and there are talks that the project might stop. According to the developer topjohnwu Magisk Manager, com.topjohnwu.magisk , has been suspended and removed from Google Play as a policy strike because it violates the malicious behavior policy. What is the so-called “malicious behavior” ? From what I’ve suspect, viewing the  definition of malicious behavior , most likely I violated the two following policies: • Apps that introduce or exploit security vulnerabilities. Apps or • SDKs that download executable code, such as dex files or native code, from a source other than Google Play. For the first policy: Magisk bypasses Google’s strict compatibility check – the CTS check on tampered devices ( SafetyNet checks CTS status). CTS is what Google judge whether a manufacturer can ship a device with its Google services, so Google is definitely really serious about this issue. Also, Ma...
