Google could add Games Hub to Chrome soon

We have all been there - playing the Chrome Dino game to keep the mind distracted from the frustrating reality of not having an active internet connection. Now, Google could soon add options for the users to choose games from. The company appears to be working on a set of changes for Chrome under the codename “Joy,” which will add a Games Hub to Chrome for both desktop and Android. 

Google is preparing to add a new page, chrome://games on Desktop. One the other hand “Top Sites” page will likely feature a “Games” section on Android. The latest findings come from Chrome Story that says both of these sections could have a curated list of games built for the browser. 

Chrome Story further discovered that Google is working on a browser version of the classic Snake game, which is said to be hosted at chrome://snake when it is ready, similar to the way users can access the Dino game at chrome://dino even when the internet connection is not available. Moreover, a reference to Proxx, a web-based game, was also found.

It is not completely clear what is Google planning to do with the Games Hub. As of now, the lastest change made in the Incongito Mode of Chrome. 

Chrome 76  will now make it harder for publications, which rely on subscriptions, to detect if a user is using the Incognito Mode for browsing their websites. These websites use FileSystem API loophole to detect whether a person is browsing in Incognito Mode and once detected, they provide users a different experience, that is, they are still able to limit the “free articles.”

Further, starting with the Chrome 76, the Progressive Web Apps (PWAs) will now check for updates daily instead of every three days before. You can read more about changes with Chrome 76 here.

PS5 unboxing videos show how huge the console is

To say that Sony has been a bit coy when it comes to the PlayStation 5 would be a bit of an understatement. The company only recently announced the India pricing of the console and now finally we have unboxings of the console going live and one thing is pretty clear - The console is HUGE!  So what do you get in the box? Well… besides the console itself (and the manuals), you get: DualSense controller USB Type-C charging cable for the controller HDMI 2.1 cable Power cable for the console (no bulky adapter/box) Plastic stand Now the plastic stand is used if you place the console on its side. As there is no flat surface on either side of the console, the stand will ensure that it remains still. But you can also place it when propping up the console vertically. However, it does seem like the PS5 can stand on its own vertically if need be. IGN’s unboxing video gives you a good idea of how to place the stand. All of the unboxing videos mention the size of the console because it is pr...
