Elections in the state will let voters rank candidates in order of preference instead of choosing just one.

If there is a reason why companies such as Google and Apple are so strict when it comes to reviewing apps for sale on their app stores, it is because they want to ensure that these apps do not end up hurting the user, such as steal their information, invade their privacy, or end up being malware in disguise.

However this is something that third-party storefronts can’t always guarantee, which is why it’s not surprising to learn that Google will no longer allow Chrome extensions to be installed via third-party websites. Previously web developers could allow extensions to be installed from their websites which are also known as inline installations.

However according to James Wagner, Google’s extensions platform product manager, “We continue to receive large volumes of complaints from users about unwanted extensions causing their Chrome experience to change unexpectedly. The majority of these complaints are attributed to confusing or deceptive uses of inline installation on websites.”

He adds, “We’re confident this change will improve transparency for all users about their extension choices in Chrome.” It’s not a particularly huge change but it does mean one or two extra steps that users will need to take before installing an extension, but it should also help reduce confusion and being misled into installing an extension they don’t need.

Fortnite is an insanely popular battle royale title and many have been waiting for its arrival in the e-sports arena. Developer Epic Games has finally revealed its e-sports plans for Fortnite. It has confirmed that the first Fortnite World Cup is going to take place in 2019 and it’s going to have a prize pool of $100 million that will be up for grabs.

The game’s e-sports competitions will be part of the Fortnite World Cup with a $100 million prize pool. The competition will be spread over several “organized events, online events, and major organized competitions all over the world,” according to Epic Games.

Any and all players will be able to participate and win. The Fortnite World Cup Qualifiers begin this fall and will culminate in the first World Cup in late 2019.

The $100 million prize will be split between events at different levels of the competition across the globe. The Fortnite World Cup play will be focused on Solos and Duos but players will have plenty of opportunities to compete with their squad as well.

“This is for you, the players. Qualifications for the Fortnite World Cup will be based on merit. Epic will not be selling teams or franchises, and won’t allow third-party leagues to do so either,” it added.

The developer is going to share the rules, player code of conduct, specifics about platforms, and the event schedule in the near future.

Some more information concerning Samsung’s next flagship smartphone has surfaced. The Galaxy Note 9 is due this August and the latest out of China suggests that the handset is going to have a larger battery compared to its predecessor. Samsung is apparently going with a 4,000mAh battery for the Galaxy Note 9.

A China-based tipster with a solid track record claims with “100%” surety that the Galaxy Note 9 is going to feature a 4,000mAh battery. The Galaxy Note 9 was previously expected to ship with a 3,850mAh battery.

If the information is accurate then the Galaxy Note 9 may offer significant gains in the battery life department compared to its predecessor the Galaxy Note 8 which features a 3,300mAh battery. Samsung has obviously confirmed nothing about the Galaxy Note 9 at this point in time so it would be best to take this information with a grain of salt until there’s more to go on.

Recent reports have suggested that the Galaxy Note 9 is going to be launched in August this year at an event in New York City. Samsung is believed to be aiming for a release by the end of August which means that it’s possible that the Galaxy Note 9 may arrive a couple of weeks earlier than its predecessor did last year.
