Dolphin browser on Android gets Marshmallow treatment

Alternative Android browser Dolphin has finally released its latest update on Google Play Store, bringing with it support for Android Marshmallow. The update first came to Nexus 9, Nexus 7, and Nexus 5 users earlier this month to test out the issues of the app. Some of the issues that surface include crash issues from launching the app, accessing resource and data-intensive sites, and even inputting text in the address bar. AdBlock feature wasn’t available from the Control Panel even if Add-on was enabled. There were even issues with not being able to tab push after login and going through Dolphin Connect login failure issues. Thankfully, all of these seem to have been addressed. You can download the app from the link below.

Google quietly drops Who’s Down app, lets your friends know you want to hang out

Google just released a new app that will let your friends know you’re up for hanging out. The Who’s Down app is currently invite only, which Google does a lot with its newer apps and services. If you do have an invite, what you can do is have access to a quick toggle switch that lets your friends know you are “down” to do a specific activity. And then that app lets you chat with your friends from within the app. You can download the app for free both on Android and iOS but again, if you don’t have an invite to use it, you won’t be able to.

Report claims Google to merge Chrome OS and Android

If rumours are to be believed, Google’s parent company, Alphabet, might be taking cues from Microsoft by merging its mobile and desktop operating systems. According to the Wall Street Journal, they got information from individuals who have knowledge on the matter. They say there will be a new version of Android that can run on PCs, aside from being able to run on tablets and phones as it does now. The new OS is reportedly slated for a 2017 release but early versions of it might show up some time next year. This would mean Chrome OS, which runs on Google Chromebook laptops, will be replaced with this new Android OS. This might be done in a move to unify the Android experience and get more people to use Chrome on desktops/laptops. Google won’t confirm anything at the moment though. If there is any truth to these, we might be hearing more about this by next year.
