Google Chrome new Update: comes with a floating window to control the music



Google is changing the way we watch videos and listen to music on chrome and is soon going to let you control playback without having to switch tabs 

Google Chrome introduce a new floating panel soon that it will allow users to play,pause,stop and also skip media without having to go to the particular tab where the content is playing.You dont want to stop current work to control the media you are looking or listening.This was first spotted by Chrome Story in June this year, this feature has been spotted again by XDA Developers who manage to enable it via a Chrome Flag.Screenshots shared by XDA Developers show a floating panel with the media control options on the top right corner of the screen when chrome in use.  First spotted by Chrome Story in June this year, this feature has been spotted again by XDA Developers who managed to enable it via a Chrome flag.

with this feature enabled, you will not have to get confuse about exactly which tab is playing on the media,in case you have a lot of tabs open all the time.Currently if any tab on Chrome is playing media,users can see a mic logo on the tab.However this mic logo gets harder and harder to spot the more tabs you have open 

XDA Developers say that the code for this feature has already been added to chrome and there is going to be a flag soon that it will enable it on the Canary channel .however ,not all the tools are appear as flags are actually rolled out-but there's a lot to be excited about this one.
Google has experimented with media control on chrome before.Last year they added play button to the browser toolbar and we could stop and play music and videos without having to find the appropriate controls on the page concerned .But this new feature is more helpful as the controls will follow you across tabs

Neuralink: Elon Musk unveils pig with chip in its brain

  Elon Musk has unveiled a pig called Gertrude with a coin-sized computer chip in her brain to demonstrate his ambitious plans to create a working brain-to-machine interface. "It's kind of like a Fitbit in your skull with tiny wires," the billionaire entrepreneur said on a webcast. His start-up Neuralink applied to launch human trials last year. The interface could allow people with neurological conditions to control phones or computers with their minds. Mr.Musk argues such chips could eventually be used to help cure conditions such as dementia, Parkinson's disease, and spinal cord injuries. But the long-term ambition is to usher in an age of what Mr.Musk calls "superhuman cognition", in part to combat artificial intelligence so powerful he says it could destroy the human race. Elon Musk reveals brain-hacking plans Gertrude was one of three pigs in pens that took part in Friday's webcast demo. She took a while to get going, but when she ate and sniffed ...

Safari to support password-less logins

Safari 14, the version of Apple’s browser that will ship with iOS 14 and macOS Big Sur, will let you use Face ID or Touch ID to log in to websites built to support the feature. The functionality was confirmed in the browser’s beta release notes, and Apple has detailed how the feature works in a WWDC video for developers. The functionality is built on the Web Authn component of the FIDO2 standard, developed by the FIDO Alliance. It should make logging into a website as easy as logging into an app secured with Touch ID or Face ID.WebAuthn is an API that aims to make web logins simpler and more secure. Unlike passwords, which are often easily guessed and vulnerable to phishing attacks, WebAuthn uses public key cryptography and can use security methods like biometrics or hardware security keys to verify your identity. It’s a standard that individual websites need to add support for, but being supported by the stock browser in iOS has the potential to be a major boost for adoption.This isn’...
