Ever since its launch, Now has been a mobile-only feature.

Encrypt All Synced Data in Chrome
Posted in: Today's ChiliThis article was written on March 27, 2012 by CyberNet.
One of the capabilities I love in Google Chrome is that it can sync most of my data across all of my browsers. It does a really good job of making sure my extensions, preferences, themes, bookmarks, passwords, and more are always available to me no matter which computer I’m on. The concern you might obviously have with doing something like that is how secure is your information?
By default Google will encrypt the passwords it syncs, but that’s all they will encrypt. Things like your history, bookmarks, and everything else is all stored on their servers without being encrypted first. That’s easy to fix though! If you take a look at your sync settings in Chrome there is an option to Encrypt all synced data instead of just encrypting your passwords. There is really no reason for you to not turn it on, because the data being synced is so small in size that any kind of performance hit from doing this would be negligible.
While in the settings you can also choose to set the encryption password to be something other than the password to your Google Account. If you really want to sync your data but want the most security possible these two settings are probably things you want to change.

Chrome for mobile features voice search by default. All users have to do when they want to use the search engine is say “OK Google,” and the browser beings to listen. It then runs the query and displays results effortlessly. In November last year, Google released the “Google Voice Search Hotword Beta” Chrome extension, which brought the same feature over to Chrome for desktop. It works exactly the same way, though users are first required to install this extension. Some users would definitely appreciate it if voice search was baked into Chrome, and it looks like that might happen soon.

Voice control is an awesomely futuristic way to control your technology like a spaceman, but only if you can trust it. So you might want to stay tight-lipped around Chrome; Google’s browser has a dangerous security flaw that can let malicious sites eavesdrop on your every word.

Most Android users will be familiar with Google Now, the feature that displays “cards” of information, be it the weather, your next flight, an upcoming appointment or the time the ride back home will take depending on the day’s traffic. Its a pretty handy way of staying up to date with relevant information and now you won’t have to whip out your Android smartphone every time you need to catch up. The latest Chrome Canary build for Windows and Mac brings Google Now cards to your desktop.
Users will need to be signed into Chrome in order to see Now cards on the desktop computer. Some cards may be based on the location of the device, and are likely to display information such as sports scores, weather and event reminders. On Windows, the cards are displayed using Chrome’s notification interface in the system tray and on Mac, in the menu bar up top. Clicking the bell icon will reveal them. Users will need to enable the feature manually by going to chrome://flags/#enable-google-now in order to get cards delivered on desktop. Simply switch “Default” to “Enabled” and click on “Relaunch Now.” You’ll be good to go. Keep in mind that the Canary build may feature bugs as its not quite ready for public consumption, so keep an open mind when you encounter said bugs.

Every year the number of people using mobile devices to access the internet significantly increases. Even though many websites offer mobile only modes, which help cut down on data consumption, users still might find themselves burning through their data caps if they rely too much on browsing using their data plans. Data compression comes in handy there, and the feature has finally been added to Google Chrome apps for both Android and iOS. Google’s popular internet browser is one of the widely used mobile browser on these platforms, granted that it comes pre-installed on all Android devices.
