More stuff I would like Apple to do with Safari on iOS.
Chromium uses a different multi-process architecture than other WebKit-based browsers, and supporting multiple architectures over the years has led to increasing complexity for both the WebKit and Chromium projects. This has slowed down the collective pace of innovation – so today, we are introducing Blink, a new open source rendering engine based on WebKit.

What’s New in Version 25.0.1364.86
• Long press on the back button to quickly access any page in your tab history
• Share a web page via Messages
The sharing via messages is a very cool addition, I would still like to see a Reader-like ability and for Apple to allow me to change default apps.

Google uses an Android phone and tablet, and a brand-new Samsung Chromebook to illustrate the page.
It’s no secret that most Google employees are Mac users, but come on, a little attention to detail wouldn’t hurt.
As its name suggests, FillDisk.com loads an almost unlimited amount of data onto hard drives of people who access the site. It requires no user interaction and works with the Google Chrome, Microsoft Internet Explorer, and Apple Safari browsers. It adds 1GB of data every 16 seconds on a MacBook Pro Retina equipped with a solid state drive, according to Feross Aboukhadijeh, the Web developer and computer science grad student who created the proof-of-concept site.

I named my bookmark aa, when I run into a page where the font is too small, I just type aa on the URL bar, select the bookmark, and boom! I have an Instapaper version of the article where I can make the font bigger, change font, background color, etc. It’s a hack, and it’s not as elegant or easy as Safari’s solution, but it works.
TNW:
As of Chrome 25, external extension deployment options on Windows will be disabled by default and all extensions previously installed using them will be automatically disabled.
This is a nice feature, but why did it allow silent installation in the first place?
