Google Chrome users are being warned about a new security threat which could leave your computer filled with malware. Google Chrome is without a doubt the most popular internet browser in the world right now. NetMarketShare stats for the first ten months of 2018 give the search engine giant’s browser a huge 63.61 per cent market share.

Its nearest challenger is Microsoft’s Internet Explorer with a 11.29 per cent chunk of the market, followed by Firefox on 10.05 per cent. Whereas Microsoft’s newer Edge browser, which is the default choice on Windows 10, lags behind on 4.33 per cent. These stats underline how Chrome’s crown as the world’s most popular internet browser is undisputed. And fans of Google Chrome have been put on alert after a new security threat affecting fans of the browser was discovered. The security alert was put out after one Google Chrome fan was directed to a fake website by a search engine. Twitter user Gabriel Landau published a video on Twitter showing how Microsoft’s Bing search engine directed him to a fake Chrome download site. The clip shows Landau type into Bing the search terms ‘download chrome’.

The first result he gets appears to be for an official Google page – the header for the result is ‘Get Chrome Download Chrome Today google.com’. Even the URL for the search result on Bing says the page can be found on www.google.com.

And when Landau clicks on the result the page he’s taken, which has a download button on it, looks legit. However, when he scrolls back to the address bar instead of it being a page on the official Google site the URL says ‘www.googleonline2018.com/chrome’. Landau said on Twitter that he came across the issue when trying to install Chrome on a brand new Windows 10 laptop. He tweeted: “Brand new Win10 laptop.

Attempt to install Chrome. Almost get owned with my very first action. Why is this still happening in 2018, @bing? Please explain.” Landau later added: “Yes this is real. Bing lists the scam link without https: //. I can still reproduce it by visiting this link in Edge and hitting F5 a few times. I can’t repro with other browsers.” Landau’s tweet was retweeted almost 2,000 times and liked by just shy of 3,000 Twitter users.

Responding to his post the Bing Ads Twitter account wrote: “Hi Gabriel, protecting customers from malicious content is a top priority and we have removed the ads from Bing and banned the associated account. We encourage users to continue to report this type of content at so we can take appropriate action.” In other Chrome news, the security warning comes after Express.co.uk revealed that the market-leading browser has received a handy new feature recently. Brand new Win10 laptop. Attempt to install Chrome. Almost get owned with my very first action. Why is this still happening in 2018,?

Please explain. — Gabriel Landau (@GabrielLandau) A new Picture-in-Picture (PiP) mode for the browser that will allow video to be played in a separate window when browsing the web has been announced. The announcement was made this week on Google+ by Chrome developer Francois Beaufort. He said: “After months of work, I’m proud to share with all of you that Picture-in-Picture (PiP) is now enabled by default in Chrome for Linux, Mac, and Windows. “This allows you to watch videos in a floating window (always on top of other windows) so that you can keep an eye on what you’re watching while interacting with other sites, or applications.

I love it!” Beaufort declared such a feature can be enabled on YouTube by right-clicking twice on a video. The first right-click will display YouTube’s player menu and the second will present Chrome’s options tab that will appear with a ‘Picture-in-Picture’ toggle.

Content will then be presented in a separate window and allows users to resize it and move it around their desktop. If you’re looking to run the new feature, you need to have Chrome version 69 or higher.

Its official: On May 8, T-Mobile the Android Oreo update for the LG V30 and V30+. Now, every major US wireless carrier has pushed the update. For me, this update is a big deal. Not only does Android Oreo bring some new tools and features, but LG has also included a few additions as well. Recently, LG released the.

This device was a new variant of the V30 that added a number of software changes. Specifically, it included a 'machine learning enhancement,' labeled as part of the ThinQ branding. And with the Orero update, LG has brought this enhancement to the V30 as well. Redesigned Setting Menu The most significant visual changes in Android Oreo are found in the Settings menu where the layout for many options has changed.

While the default 'Tab view' is relatively the same, 'List view' layout has been reworked. Options such as 'Network & internet' and 'System' have been tweaked to match the ASOP version of the Android Oreo.

The side menu, introduced with Android Nougat, has been removed, confiding navigation to just scrolling. Autofill API The feature that I am the most excited for is the ability to autofill usernames and passwords.

One of the biggest gripes I had when switching to a password manager was the need to always copy and paste your credentials now that I no longer know them. Especially with my phone, having to switch back and forth between apps was time-consuming and extended the time for setting up new phones. With Android Oreo, this is no longer the case., you can autofill your login information to all your favorite app with a touch of the screen. No More 'Unknown Sources' As with all Android updates, Google brings in new tools to help improve the security of the operating system and its users. One example of this changes comes in the form of changing how 'Unknown sources' operates.

Previous Android versions made 'Unknown sources' provide a global permission to all apps once enabled. This allowed malicious apps to sideload malware unknowingly since its permission was already granted. However, with Oreo,. 'Unknown sources' must now be enabled on a per-app basis.

This gives you more control as it is easier to disable the feature on a particular app which you don't fully trust while remaining enabled on ones you do. Notification Channels Notifications received a major overhaul with Android 8.0 Oreo. One of the biggest changes comes in the form of, which allows apps to categorize their various notifications.

Within these grouping, notifications can be managed individually, allowing for specific types of alerts to adjust while not affecting others. For example, users can lower the priority of certain types of alerts while keeping the more important ones at higher alerts. Developers must implement the new tool into their app but, at least for now, every Google app uses this feature.

Overlay Sticky Notification Another new change to improve security comes in the form of improvements to the awareness of the operation of apps. With Android Oreo, when an app is using screen overlay, a sticky notification will display which can't be dismissed. This alerts you of the potential danger to trusting this app, protecting you against potential harmless ones. New Music Notification The music notification has also been updated, coming in the form of a visual change.

The background color and playback controls color will now reflect the colors used in the cover art of the song currently playing. While this new feature is supported by all music apps, you can enjoy it when playing music via YouTube, Google Play Music, and Spotify. Support for U2F Security Keys In another attempt to improve security, Android Oreo includes native support for. These are physical keys which acts as another form of authentication. Typically, with USB drives, if an app supports them, authentication will require your password and possession of the security key. Don't Miss: 12. Verified Boot 2.0 Verified Boot is a security feature which prevents your device from booting up if any aspect of the software is altered.

It protects your device from apps which attempt to obtain root access secretly. With Verified Boot, if Android OS detectsany modification, the phone won't boot. Verified Boot 2.0 adds to this protection by adding Rollback Protection. Now, if an app (or thief) attempts to return your device to Android Nougat or any other older version of Android which is less secure, the operating system won't let it. More Granular Storage Controls The 'Storage' menu has received an update to help you navigate its information. Unlike the previous version, apps and files are now grouped into categories based on their operation.

By selecting the group, you can head to a list of all the appropriate apps and files. Managing your data is easier as it becomes simpler to locate apps with redundant operations. Package Installer Progress Bar The Package Installer has received a slight makeover with the latest update. The progress bar represents the current progress of the installation.

There is also a 'Cancel' button at the bottom right, which allows you to stop the app installation (pending the progress isn't nearly complete). Picture-in-Picture Mode Probably the biggest front-end change to Android is the inclusion of the picture-in-picture mode. Videos (and turn-by-turn directions) can be reduced to a small movable window to continue viewing while interacting with other apps on your phone.

Currently, support is limited to few apps such as VLC, Google Maps, and YouTube (when you pay for YouTube Red). Netflix supports the feature but only when your device is using Android 8.1 Oreo. App Icon Badge This latest feature borrows from iOS, adding another way to interact with notifications.

App Icon Badge is a small dot with a number counter which appears in the upper-right corner of the icon. The dot represents a new notification and the number reflects the number of new alerts. Long-pressing an icon with a badge will allow you view the notifications. You can select individual apps or swipe them away similar to how you would interact with them in the notificaiton shade. New Emojis With Android Oreo, LG V30 users get to enjoy the new Emojis 5.0. Finalized in March 2017, this new list increases the number of available emojis to 183, with 56 being brand new. Some examples are below.

Image by Jeremy Burge/ ThinQ Features Besides the new changes brought by Android Oreo, LG has included some new features which are a part of its ThinQ branding. ThinQ is the new marketing term for its application of machine learning enhancements on its products. The LG V30S ThinQ, which launched earlier this year, was the first device to showcase these features and now the regular V30 will also gain its functionality. AI Cam The AI Cam is a new mode of the camera app which uses machine learning to improve photography. Using object recognition, facial recognition, and other detection tools, all things are identified that are contained in the viewfinder. While it processes the scenes, objects, and people, QTags will appear. QTags are small text snippets that reflect the identification of the thing by the V30.

After identifying all components of the image, AI cam will suggest specific camera settings to best capture the image. Besides this changes, the V30 also receives one of the latest security patches (April) which will significantly improve protection. With this update, the V30 almost becomes a new device. With its new ThinQ ability and the number of new changes which comes with Android 8.0 Oreo, holding onto the V30 a little bit longer until the V40 comes out becomes much more feasible. Do you like the new ThinQ additions? What you favorite new change? Do you wish they updated to 8.1 Oreo instead?
