Google Chrome 94 Beta is available for download

With Google releasing new versions of Chrome one after the other, there has been a surprising release. Google Chrome 94 beta has just been released, complete with beautiful Material You tweaks.

Google announced in March that there would be new Chrome releases every four weeks instead of the usual six weeks. Google Chrome 94 beta is the first release to live on that four-week live cycle.

Despite this fast release cycle, there will also be significant changes coming to the Android browser. For one, the browser will feel right at home on Android by simply flipping a few flags in Google Chrome 94 beta. This is thanks to the new wallpaper-based theming engine referred to as Monet. Upon activating the flags, your new tab page, the address bar, and tab switcher will show an accent color, just like many other aspects of Android 12 beta is already showing.

We already received a few glimpses of Material You in Chrome 93, but Chrome 94 beta takes the theming feature to a whole new level. In true Google style, it is also safe to assume that many more changes will be made to the theming engine with future updates.

Besides these tweaks, there are many more features on offer with Chrome 93 beta. There is a brand new HTTPS-first mode, improvements to the tab groups on mobile, and more.

This beta release does leave Chrome 93 in a rather tricky position. It would appear that Chrome 94 beta is already taking over 93’s spot in the beta channel. Considering that and the fact that Chrome 93 has not even reached a stable release, I can’t help but wonder if Google will continue working on it or address their efforts on Chrome 94 instead.

You can download the beta version of Chrome 94 on the Play Store as it is already being rolled out, or if it’s not showing on yours yet, you can grab the APK file to install it on your Android device.

Closing words

Even though Chrome 93 has not reached a stable state, Google has released Chrome 94 beta onto the beta channel. This latest beta version of the popular browser also boasts a few new features to get excited about. I look forward to testing it more and seeing how it does.

Can you run it? Gamers may recognize the phrase, it is the tag line of a popular benchmarking service that determines whether your computer can run a game or not. It’s actually a pretty terrible way to judge the performance of your system, but things like these have a cult/meme status. Now, if you are curious whether your PC can handle a game, there is a way you can get an idea. The Xbox app now displays a rating to indicate how the games will perform on your computer. I tried this on a Windows 10 machine with the regular Xbox app, it does not have the rating system. You will need to be using the Xbox Insiders app on your system to get the new feature.

Latest Ventoy includes VentoyPlugson, a GUI configuration tool

Image
Ventoy 1.0.62, the latest version of the popular open source tool to create bootable USB devices using disk images such as ISO, includes a new tool called VentoyPlugson. VentoyPlugson gives Ventoy users a graphical user interface to configure the tool. Up until now, Ventoy users could only configure the application through the ventoy.json file directly; this option is not going away, and users can even mix and match both options, e.g. by using VentoyPlugson to create a ventoy.json file and then editing the file manually to tweak it further, The latest release version of Ventoy includes the tool in the zip archive. Windows users need to extract the archive that they download from the official repository and run VentoyPlugson.exe afterwards. ADVERTISEMENT It displays a small GUI. Select the Ventoy USB device and then the Start button; this should open the configuration page in the default browser. If that does not work, use the Link button instead. There is also a refresh button i

Progressive Web Apps for Firefox Extension

Image
Progressive Web Apps for Firefox is a browser extension for Mozilla’s Firefox web browser and a command line utility to install, manage and use Progressive Web Apps (PWAs) in Firefox. Mozilla’s Firefox web browser supports many of the APIs that PWAs use, but Mozilla decided some time ago to remove installation options from Firefox. Most Chromium-based browsers support installing PWAs directly from within. Installation on desktop systems adds these applications to the Start Menu for quick access, and these apps launch in their own dedicated window. Progressive Web Apps for Firefox introduces a number of features to Firefox that users of the browser may find useful. Some functionality may even be useful to users who don’t use PWAs. ADVERTISEMENT PWAs that are installed in Firefox through the extension benefit from a number of extra features. One of the most interesting features of the extension is that PWAs are run in an isolated Firefox extension that may use multiple profiles to s
