Get Warning From Google Chrome if Your Passwords are exposed.

We all put our trust in big companies and services to protect our personal information. But so often they employ weaker, cheaper defenses that are easily overcome and at which point our password and other data end up in the hands of crooks, and we all pay the price.  

You can also set your Chrome browser to delete browsing data automatically and you can perform the same with other browsers also. Just for your privacy.  

Scarily, this can happen without you even knowing. Companies should inform you if they’ve been hacked and urge you to change your password, but it’s easy to miss these emails. However, Chrome will now warn you whenever you enter a password that’s been stolen. These warnings were previously shown only in its Password Checkup tool, or by using a browser extension.

How To Enable Password Stolen Alert in Google Chrome.

To activate this option, open your Chrome browser and click Settings, Advanced Settings.

Inside Advanced Settings, click the first option that is ‘Sync and Google services’.

Next, scroll down to Other Google services and enable the new ‘Warn you if passwords are exposed in a data breach’ option to switch on.

Or you can also, enable the ‘Safe browsing’ option which automatically turns on the other two options, ‘Warn you if passwords are exposed in a data’ and ‘Help Improve Chrome Security’.

You are done. Now it is the responsibility of Google Chrome to notify you whenever such fault arises.

When you use your browser’s incognito mode, your computer doesn’t store details of the sites you’ve visited, but it’s easy to forget that this handy tool exists, and deleting data manually at the end of the session is a hassle.

If you’re really concerned about your privacy, you can set your browser to delete cookies and other site data automatically every time you close it.

How To Stop Notifications Interrupting Your Music in Windows.

When you’re enjoying your favorite music on your headphones, the last thing you want is Windows audio notifications ruining the experience, such as when a new email arrives.

There are two ways to avoid this. One involves lowering the volume of Windows notifications; the other is to divert the audio to your computer’s speakers, not your headphones.

To do either, first, start playing your music on your computer, then click Start, type sound settings, and select the Sound Settings options in the results. You can do the same by Settings > System > Sound.

Inside Sound settings, scroll down to ‘Advanced sound options’, click on ‘App volume device preferences’.

Find the app you’re using to play your music in the list, then select your headphones in the Output box.

Next, locate the Sound app in the list (this controls Windows notifications) and choose whether to output them to your headphones or your computer’s speakers.

The latter will usually be listed as ‘Speaker/Headphones’ or similar. You can then adjust the volume of the notification using the slider. You can also re-gain all your default settings by clicking of Reset button in the lower-left corner.

Learn and Make Machine Learning Projects Without Using a single Code.

You don’t need to be a programming genius to get to grips with the basic of machine learning. Indeed, a couple of years ago, Google launched its Teachable Machine, which allowed anyone to use a webcam or files on their hard drive to teach the computer how to recognize patterns in data.

Now, Google has unveiled Teachable Machine 2.0, which again doesn’t require any coding and lets you interact via your microphone. Choose between and Image, Audio and Pose project and, by selecting photos, sounds, or people moving around, the computer can be trained to pick up on the differences telling the difference between a human and a dog. Trained models can then be exported to websites, devices, and apps.

                   

Along with easy-to-follow video tutorials, there are links to three example projects that teach the computer to determine if a banana is ripe, detect simple sounds and recognize which way your head is tilting. Real-life projects are also explored and, for anyone worried about privacy, Google promises that any media you upload or capture remains on your device unless you save a project to Google Drive.

Create a Machine Learning project without Using Code.

To create your own first machine learning project with writing a single line of coding, you have to follow three simple steps.

Step 1: Gather: You have to gather and group your example into classes, or categories, that you want the computer to learn.

Step 2: Train: In this step, you have to train your model, then instantly test it out to see whether it can correctly classify new examples.

To train you model, you can use images, sounds,s or poses which you can capture live using your webcam or microphone.

Step 3: Export: You can export your model for your projects, site, apps, and more. You can also download your model or host it online for free.

There are many different project info available on the website which you can read and get an idea of where you can use machine learning in your own life or to makes other lives better.  

20 Best Features of New Microsoft Edge Browser (2020).

With a new logo and a brand new look, the new Microsoft Chromium Edge browser is now finally available for the users to download and use. So now what is going to happen to your old Edge browser which is already there on your Windows PC.

When you download and complete the installation process, the old Edge will get replaced by this new Chromium Edge browser with a lot of new features to use. 

In this post, I am describing 20 new features that must try on this new Edge browser and explore which feature you found the most useful for you.

Install lots more extensions on New Edge.

One of the (many) complaints about the original Microsoft Edge concerned its lack of add-ons. In the new version, you can download add-ons directly from the Microsoft Store, as well as install any extension from the Chrome Web Store. To add an extension in the new Edge browser-

Step 1: Click on the top right corner menu button and choose Extensions.

Step 2: Inside Extensions, enable the option ‘Allow extensions from other stores’ in the bottom-left corner and then click on Allow.

Step 3: Now, go to the Chrome web store, choose the add-on you want to install and click ‘Add to Chrome’.

Customize your New Tab page of the Edge browser.

You can customize your new tab of Edge browser base on your interest and what you want to see on it. To customize your new tab-

Step 1: Click on the cog button (settings) in the top-right corner and choose a layout that you want to use.

Different the layout has different features- Focused (minimal look), Inspirational (adds a background image), Informational (includes news).

Step 2: You can also add your favorite sites to the Quick Links bar along the bottom of the page by clicking the plus button.

Customize your news feed of Edge browser.

Edge has a customizable news feed, powered by Microsoft News, which you can view by scrolling down the New Tab page.

Step 1: You’ll need to have selected either the inspirational or Informational layouts to see the contents. Scroll down on the new tab. 

Step 2: Once visible, click the personalize tab to select your interests and add or remove categories, so that the content is relevant to you.
Options include Top Stories, TV, Lifestyle, Celebrities, Entertainment, Money, Technology and Sport.

Step 3: To hide the news feed, click the cog, choose Custom and select ‘Content off’.

Switch between multiple accounts in the new Edge browser.

You can set up Edge with different user profiles, to keep what you do online separate from other family members, or have different profiles for home and work. Edge lets you add both local and Microsoft accounts. To use multiple accounts –

Click the profile button in the top-right corner of the browser to manage your profile settings, browse as a guest (which stops Edge saving your browsing data download history and cookies) and set up additional profiles.

Kill resource-hungry processes of Edge browser.

You can use Windows’ built-in Task Manager to kill non-responsive or resource-hungry processes, but Edge, like Chrome and Firefox, now has its own Task Manager that you can use to identify and close problematic tasks and processes, such as memory-hogging extensions that slow your browser. To access it,

Step 1: Click the top-right menu button and select ‘More tools’, ‘Browser task manager’.

Step 2: You can sort the list by various criteria and end selected items that are causing trouble.

Import browser data from Chrome to Edge browser.

Microsoft is keen for you to switch from using Google’s browser to the new Edge, so it’s made the transition as painless as possible by simplifying the process of importing your data. To import browser data-  

Step 1: You can either go to Settings, ‘Import browser data’ and select Chrome in the drop-down menu or you can type edge://settings/import data into the address bar to take you to the same page.

Step 2: You can choose what to import-bookmarks, passwords, addresses, payment info, browsing history, settings and open tabs.

Step 3: Click on Import to import all what you have chosen.

Hear web pages read aloud.

Edge can read the content of any web page aloud, which is handy if your eyesight is poor or if you’re occupied with something else and want to hear the latest news or get through an online article. To hear web pages read aloud-

Step 1: Once you’re on a page you’d rather listen to then read, open the browser menu and choose Read Aloud.

Step 2: You can start and pause playback, jump backward and forwards from one paragraph to another, choose a different reading voice and adjust the speed of the playback, making it a little faster will get you through the text more quickly.

Sync your data across devices.

New Edge a browser can sync your history, bookmarks, passwords, and other browser data across all your signed-in devices, so you can easily carry on browsing when you switch to another computer, phone, or tablet. To Sync your data across devices-

Step 1: Open the Settings menu, select Profiles on the left and click Sync on the right.

Step 2: Click the ‘Turn on sync’ button and choose what you want to include.

Not all options are available at the moment, but more will be added soon.

Turn websites into standalone apps.

One new feature we particularly like in the reborn Edge is its ability to turn web pages into standalone apps that you can open and read independently from the browser. To turn websites into standalone apps-

Step 1: Just navigate to a web page you want to convert to an app, open the browser menu, go to select ‘Install this site as an app’.

Step 2: You’ll be able to access the new app from the Start menu, as well as directly through the browser menu.

Block unwanted trackers automatically.

Internet giants such as Facebook and Google are known to track your every move on the web. Edge offers a tracking prevention feature that aims to stop sites that you aren’t accessing directly from following you around in this way. To manage the feature-

Step 1: Go to Settings, ‘Privacy and services’(edge://settings/privacy). By default, it’s set to Balanced, which means it will block trackers from sites you haven’t visited as well as harmful trackers, while Strict blocks most trackers but may prevent some sites from functioning properly.

Step 2: You can allow trackers on certain sites under Exceptions, and see which sites have been blocked to date under Blocked Trackers.

Step 3: Clicking the ‘View site information’ a padlock on the left end of the address bar shows you how many trackers have been blocked so far.

Block personalized ads on Edge browser.

Microsoft can use your browsing history to personalize the ads you see, through this, the feature should be turned off by default.

Step 1: To check it’s not activated, open Settings, select ‘Privacy and services’ and scroll down to ‘Personalize your web experience’.

Step 2: You can also access the Microsoft privacy dashboard from here, which lets you manage your data and control additional advertising settings.

Pin sites to the taskbar.

If you regularly visit certain sites, such as BBC News or Facebook, you can pin them to the taskbar for easy access, then click the relevant button to go straight there. To do so-

Browse to a site you want to add, open the browser menu and go to ‘More tools’, ‘Pin to taskbar’.

Switch between Light and Dark mode.

Edge offers a choice of three themes- Light, Dark and System Default.

Step 1: To switch between them, open the menu, go to Settings and select Appearance on the left.

Step 2: Click the drop-down menu next to Theme on the right and choose the one you want. The change will be made instantly.

Stream videos to other devices.

Edge can stream videos and other media to a connected device, such as a Google Chromecast. To stream video to other devices-

Step 1: Find a page containing a video, then open the browser menu, go to ‘More tools and select ‘Cast media to device’.

Step 2: The browser will look for any compatible devices in range, so you can stream content to them instead of watching videos on your PC.

Get protection against dangerous sites.

Chromium Edge, like most modern browsers, helps protect you from malicious sites and downloads. It uses Microsoft Defender SmartScreen for the task, which is enabled by default, but if you decide you don’t want to use the security feature for whatever reason, you can disable it. To get protection against dangerous sites- 

Open Settings, click ‘Privacy and services, then scroll down and toggle the feature off.

There’s also an option to block potentially unwanted downloads “that might cause unexpected behaviors”.

Control website permissions.

Edge, like Chrome, lets you control exactly which permissions websites are granted.

Step 1: Open Settings and select ‘Site permission’ on the left. The list of permissions is very long and includes cookies and site data, location, camera, microphone, JavaScript, Adobe Flash, pop-ups, and much more.

Step 2: Click an option and you should be able to block or allow permission or have the browser ask you before allowing it.

Make web pages easier to read in the Edge browser.

When you find an interesting article on a web page, you can make it easier to read by stripping out ads and other junk.

Step 1: Click the Immersive Reader button to the right of the address bar to get started (note that this won’t show up on every page).

Step 2: If you move your mouse to the top of the screen, you can have the page read aloud, adjust its text size, and change the background color.

View PDFs in your Edge browser.

One of the best features of the original Edge browser was its built-in PDF reader. Thankfully, it’s still here in the Chromium version, along with some useful tools.

You can jump to a page, zoom in or out, rotate the PDF, draw on it (and erase the strokes afterward), and print or save the document.

Select text using caret browsing.

Caret browsing places an insertion-point cursor wherever you click. This lets you select text from a website using your keyboard, like in a word processor.

To enable this feature, press F7, and a pop-up message asking if you want to turn on caret browsing. You can tell Edge not to ask this again in the future.

Reset your Edge browser.

If you’ve played around with the various settings in Edge and find things aren’t working as well as before, you can reset the browser back to its default values (perform a factory reset, in other words).

Open the menu, go to Settings and select ‘Reset settings on the left, then click the ‘Restore settings to their default values’ link on the right.

So, these are the 20 features which I found useful and must try on the new Chromium base Edge browser. And if you found any other interesting features while using the new Edge browser, let us know in the comment section below. 

What is an eSIM? Everything You Need To Know About eSIM.

From mini to micro to nano, phone SIM cards have been diminishing in size. The humble SIM card has made due for a long time, yet it presently, at last, seems as though it’s en route out. In this post, you are going to know all about eSIM like, what is eSIM, how it works, what are the advantages of using eSIM and phones supporting eSIM.

What is an eSIM?

As the name suggests, an eSIM is an electronic chip version of a SIM card-those tiny pieces of plastic that you insert into a mobile phone so you can connect to a network and use a number. Rather than take the form of a physical item, however, the eSIM is embedded in a chip inside the handset.

How does eSIM work?

A standard SIM (short for Subscriber Identify Module) stores an International Mobile Subscriber Identify (IMSI) number that identifies every user on a cellular network. It also saves the authentication key that validates the IMSI and can store contact names and numbers. While eSIMs still identify your user login credentials on a network, they also have the capability for that data to be rewritten over the air.

What are the advantages of an eSIM?

When you have an eSIM in your phone, you can switch between mobile networks with ease. There is no need to obtain a physical SIM card for the new provider because it’s simply a case of opening an account and allowing the carrier to reprogram the eSIM with the necessary data. This should eliminate the hassle of switching and make it a more fluid process. There are no demands for PAC numbers and the move should be instant. Any updates to the eSIM can also be completed remotely by the network.

How secure eSIMs is?

When you want to switch to another network using an eSIM, everything on the chip is changed to work with the new carrier, including the network authentication keys. The level of security is on a par with SIM cards, according to GSMA, the association of mobile networks. In a white paper, it said: “eSIM provides an equivalent level of security as the removable SIM card”.

Which phones are supporting eSIMs now?

Aside from Apple’s iPhone, Google has placed dual-eSIM/SIM capabilities in Pixel 2, 3, XL, 4, and 4 XL phones, while Samsung’s Galaxy Fold allows for an eSIM and a physical micro-SIM card. It won’t be long before more manufacturers climb aboard and we can expect to see a growing number of eSIM-compatible handsets over the coming months and years. 

So, this is brief information about eSIM which can help you know about eSIM well. Tell me what do you think about the eSIM card in the comment section below?

How To Translate languages using Google’s Interpreter mode.

Google interpreter-mode helps you in communicating with the person who does not know your language, providing two-way translations.

Suppose you visit some other country like Japan but you don’t know the Japanese language then how you are going to talk with someone or ask for some help. Google’s interpreter mode is going to help you instant translating the sentence you speak to the other language you want to speak. It is very simple and easy to use Google interpreter mode.

If you’re using an Android phone, Assistant is built-in but, if it’s not set to listen out for “Hey Google”, hold down on the home button until the Assistant pops up before using one of the commands above. And if you have an iPhone, you’ll need to install the Google Assistant app and launch it from the home screen (Download Assistant).

Launch it with either “Hey, Google, be my Japanese translator”, or “Hey, Google, help me speak Japanese” (or whichever language you need), and hold your phone between yourself and the person you’re talking to.

Now, speak in English and, when it’s detected that you've stopped talking, Assistant will translate to Japanese and speak the result.

It will then start listening again and, when it hears a Japanese response, translate it into spoken English. You can carry on like this until you’re both got to the end of your conversation. At that point, just say “stop”, “quit” or “exit”.

Don’t worry if you’re not traveling in a Japanese-speaking country, Google interpreter works across 44 languages, including Italian, German, Spanish, Mandarin and Japanese, and less common tongues like Estonian, Cambodian, and Telugu. The easiest way to find out if it supports the tongue you need is simply to ask it to be your translator for that language.

How To Protect Against Security threats in Google Chrome.

The latest version of Chrome, 79 is now available, and it introduces a host of new features, including enhanced security and better protection against phishing scams.

The three main features of Google chrome 79 updates are:

• Check or Change Your Passwords.
• Get a warning about suspicious sites.
• RenameDownloads (for Android).

The update extends predictive phishing protection to all Chrome users, not just those who have Sync switched on. What’s more, the new browser receives the latest information on threats in real-time rather than every 30-minutes, because “some phishing sites slip through the 30-minute window”.

To enable this option, visit chrome://settings/syncSetup and switch on ‘Make searches and browsing better’.

Chrome 79 also features a built-in password checker that alerts you if one of your username or passwords has been involved in a data breach.

You may also want to turn on three new experimental Clipboard flags (search chrome://flags for ‘Clipboard’).

These add a ‘Send to’ option to Chrome’s context menu, making it easier to share content between devices.
