Google makes it easier to sync info across devices

11th December 2020
"Information can be accessed by signing in to the Google Account"

In a blog, Google has announced that it is rolling out new features, making it easier for Chrome users to sync their passwords and payment information across devices. 

After you log into the browser with a Google account, Chrome on Android will be able to access saved payment information. Payments can be confirmed by entering a card's CVC or also by biometric security. One can easily log in to a Google Account on an Android device. A single tap will be enough for devices with pre-enabled Google services like Gmail, to sign in to the browser with a Google Account. 

Also, Chrome's desktop version is being updated. When you save a new password to a device, Chrome will ask you whether you want to save it on the device or to a Google Account. If you save the password in your Google account you can access the password from any of your devices. 

These features are already available in chrome via its sync features. But as the sync option needs to be turned on in every device it is a little problematic. The company claims that the new approach of signing into a browser with a Google Account makes it “simpler and more intuitive” to access your information.

Google Assistant can schedule your smart lights

16th October 2021
"Use the smart assistant’s ‘scheduled action’ feature, but be aware there are a few quirks"

Google Assistant now lets users schedule lights and other devices to turn on and off at specific times with its “scheduled actions” feature, according to Android Police, which cites Google Assistant developer documentation.

Google Assistant has worked with Hue and other smart lights for some time, to turn them on and off and to set alarms, but now you can tell your Assistant exactly when you want to turn on lights and other devices in a smart home.

One caveat: you have to be really specific if you want to schedule the lights (or other devices) to turn on or off a day in the future. Just saying something like, “Hey Google, turn the lights on tomorrow at 8 PM,” isn’t enough. You’d need to say, “Hey Google, turn on the lights Tuesday at 8 PM.”

However, as Android Police noted, you can specify “sunrise” and “sunset” as times to set your lights to come on (or off) and you won’t need to state the exact time. You also can use Google Assistant to schedule a length of time to keep lights on, such as “turn on lights for 10 minutes.”
The feature is apparently still a work in progress, however; in addition to the “tomorrow” quirk, Reddit users and Android Police note that the function to cancel a scheduled action doesn’t appear to work. But according to Google Assistant smart home documentation, it looks like these features are likely to be working soon.

Google removes some IAC browser extensions for 'policy violations'

10th December 2020
"InterActive Corp had a number of its Chrome Browser extensions removed by Google."

Recently, IAC/InterActive Corp, the American holding company with well-known media and internet brands across 100 companies, had a number of its Chrome browser extensions removed by Google for violating its policies. 

In an affirmation with Reuters, A google spokesman said that Google has already removed a number of extensions of IAC as these extensions violated the Google policies. And also said that they are continuing their conversation with IAC, related to the Chrome Web Store policies. Also, he said that they’re reviewing the remaining extensions and their enforcement options, and have not yet made a decision regarding IAC’s status on the store.

For misleading practices that were being done by IAC and were discovered by the chrome trust and safety team, google was considering severe chastisement. The precise policies that were violated are not specified by Google though.

But an IAC spokeswoman disputed as she said that Google is just using its position to reduce IAC's business to the last corner of the internet.
