Almost eight years ago, Google retired its Google Reader service much to the dismay of its many users. Reasons presented for its demise varied but most of those revolved around how the open yet outdated RSS format has seemingly gone out of fashion in lieu of social media. Of course, RSS feeds are still alive and kicking and, almost ironically, … Continue reading

It has been many, many years since Google Reader was killed off. While other RSS platforms like Feedly have since taken its place, if you’re hoping for something a bit more native like Google Reader back in the day, Google could be looking to oblige with a new experimental “Follow” feature in Chrome.
According to Google, select users should see a new “Follow” button on Chrome for Android. Basically what this does is that it allows users to follow a website so that whenever the website publishes new content, they will be able to see it in a feed in the Following section on the New Tab page.
In a way this is similar to how social media works, where you can follow a person or a brand and you can get updates whenever they post something new. However, as this is an experimental feature, there are quite a few questions that haven’t been answered, like whether or not this will be a feature that will arrive on desktop as well, and if it will sync across devices.
However as this is experimental, Google says, “Keeping a site’s RSS up-to-date will ensure Chrome can provide the latest content to users with this experiment. We will provide more guidance to web publishers as we learn and evaluate whether this feature will graduate from an experiment to a broader rollout in Chrome.”

In addition to Sony making the killer WH-1000XM4 noise-cancelling headphones, Sony also has their WF-1000XM series which is basically a pair of earbuds for those who are looking for something smaller. If you’re wondering about the next-gen model, Evan Blass has leaked a bunch of its renders online.
Right off the bat, and assuming the renders are accurate, the WF-1000XM4s look very different from its predecessor. The WF-1000XM3s had more of a pill-shaped design, but with the fourth gen model, Sony has opted for a more rounder design which should make the earbuds less obtrusive and won’t stick out like a sore thumb in your ear.

Sony is however sticking to some of the previous design, namely the accents where the black model has bronze-ish accents like it did in the previous model, which we say actually looks pretty good. So far only two color options were leaked and we’re not sure if there will be more options, but based on the WF-1000MX3, probably not.
The renders also show off a newly-designed case that does away with the cover accent for a sleeker look. There are no specs accompanying the release of the renders, so we’ll have to wait for the official announcement, which given the leaked renders should (hopefully) be soon.

There are several different browsers you can choose from on desktop and mobile. Opera is one of those browsers, but back in 2019, the company decided to spin off their browser where they created a separate browser called Opera GX that was apparently designed for gamers. This came with features like CPU and RAM limiters so users can choose how much resources they want to allocate.
Now it seems that Opera has decided that they will be bringing its GX gaming browser onto mobile devices. Do note that Opera GX for mobile is currently in beta, but you can take it for a spin if you’re curious as to what it can do for you and your browsing experience.
According to Opera, “First off, you get custom navigation with the Fast Action Button (FAB) and haptic feedback (vibrations). On top of this, you can easily sync your mobile and desktop browsers with the Flow feature – it lets you share files, notes, videos and gaming content like walkthroughs, tutorials and character builds between your devices. Plus there’s instant access to GX Corner – a one-tap space for gaming news, deals and a game release calendar.”
The company also claims that the design of the browser was inspired by gaming and gaming gear, so in case the more somber tones of mobile browsers isn’t cutting it for you, Opera GX will let you choose between various “gaming” themes. It’s an interesting spin on the browser application and if you’re curious, you can participate in the beta for iOS or Android (it will download the APK).
