Pixel owners are starting off March the best way: With a fresh “Feature Drop” software update. The latest quarterly Feature Drop adds a handful of frankly small features, making it one of the smaller and less impactful since Google started the program. The Recorder app, which lets you make audio memos, now has a cloud component. Pixel owners can access the full Recorder experience at the Recorder website , and get shareable links so anyone can listen to your recordings. A fun feature, but one with a rather limited audience. Trending in Mobile: What is 5G? 5G Network Coverage Map Pixels also now have a dedicated underwater photography mode , giving you access to most of the camera’s features even in the difficult shooting environment. Problem being you also have to buy a $325 phone dive housing — neat, but even more of a limited audience.

San Francisco: Google 's Chrome browser will soon try to use HTTPS as default when users forget to type the HTTP or HTTPS prefix. The move is in line with Chrome engineers efforts to increase browser safety. These HTTPS-first changes will arrive in Chrome 90, scheduled to be released in mid-April this year, ZDNet reported last week. At present, when a user types a link in the Omnibox - Chrome address (URL) bar -- Chrome will load the typed link, regardless of protocol. But if users do not add the protocol, Chrome will add the prefix "http://" and attempt to load the domain via HTTP. According to Chrome security engineer Emily Stark, this will change in Chrome 90. Starting with v90, Chrome will try to open the site via "https://" when users leave out the prefix when typing a URL. Google had earlier said that safe browsing in Chrome automatically protects you from malicious ads and warns you before you visit dangerous sites or download suspicious files. If you use … [Read more...] about Google Chrome to use HTTPS protocol by default for increased security
