  • Firefox Android Reader Mode
    Firefox android reader mode Continue Image: Firefox Development Firefox Preview, Firefox's restored Android app, is moving smoothly together, and this week one of its best features received a substantial update. Mozilla added browser extension support to Firefox Preview back in February, but you can only install one addition: uBlock Origin. Mozilla's latest test builds for Firefox Preview have added five more add- ons to the mobile browser that can be installed from the app settings, and they're all stunning: Screenshot: Brendan HesseDark Reader - automatically includes a dark mode for (most) websites, even if the page usually doesn't have one. HTTPS Everywhere - Adds HTTPS encryption to websites whenever possible. NoScript - Warns you about potentially dangerous web-page scripts and lets you decide whether they will be running or not. Privacy Badger - Blocks internet trackers hidden on the sites you visit. Image Search - Allows you to select and reverse search for images of any images you find while viewing. These new add-ons are available in the latest version of the developer's Firefox Preview. You can try them early by downloading Nightly Build from Google Play. While Night builds are designed for developers and often suffer from stability issues, downloading it so won't re-write any other version of Firefox Preview you've installed. If something doesn't work, you can just delete the browser and swap back for the more stable version of Firefox Preview you used before. New additions should be available in other versions of the app soon anyway. How to install add-onsInstall Firefox Preview Night Assembly from Google Play Store.

We offer it to the public with the permission of Professor Schmidt. Google Data Collection Professor Douglas C. Schmidt, Vanderbilt University August 15, 2018 I. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY 1. Google is the world’s largest digital advertising company.1 It also provides the #1 web browser,2 the #1 mobile platform,3 and the #1 search engine4 worldwide. Google’s video platform, email service, and map application have over 1 billion monthly active users each.5 Google utilizes the tremendous reach of its products to collect detailed information about people’s online and real-world behaviors, which it then uses to target them with paid advertising. Google’s revenues increase significantly as the targeting technology and data are refined. 2. Google collects user data in a variety of ways. The most obvious are “active,” with the user directly and consciously communicating information to Google, as for example by signing in to any of its widely used applications such as YouTube, Gmail, Search etc. Less obvious ways for Google to collect data are “passive” means, whereby an application is instrumented to gather information while it’s running, possibly without the user’s knowledge. Google’s passive data gathering methods arise from platforms (e.g. Android and Chrome), applications (e.g.

Back in May 2016, Google first announced that it would be releasing updates to Chrome OS that would allow Android apps on Chromebooks. While the Android app support rollout for Chrome OS devices was slow at first, there are now a healthy number of first and third-party devices that can run the hundreds of millions of apps available from the Google Play Store. In addition to announcing that Android apps are coming to Chromebooks, Google also revealed it will start adding Linux app support to Chromebooks by lacing them in a Debian-based virtual machine. Because of the rather long rollout of Android and Linux app support for Chromebooks, it’s difficult to keep up with which models can run these apps.
