You can pick any of the following US cities to back: Manhattan, Brooklyn, Chicago, Washington, Philadelphia, Boston, Atlanta, San Francisco, Los Angeles, Seattle, Austin, and Portland. You can back these stores by purchasing a gift card and pledging an amount of your choice. You’ll be getting a corresponding reward package, depending on your pledge. You will also be asked to create a Frank & Oak account. The first six cities that’ll reach their threshold will get a pop-up shop. 

Google ports Chrome data compression to PCs
