Digital security is always difficult, but most people don’t have to worry about being targeted with the latest spyware.

For those of you familiar with Ubuntu you will have no problem installing gOS....

Google announced today that Chrome OS Flex is leaving early access, and is now stable enough to rely on for typical day-to-day use.

Firefox is one of two major browsers left with a non-Chromium engine (the other being Apple’s Safari), which means it can experiment with lower-level changes that Google isn’t interested in. Now one of those changes is rolling out to everyone: Total Cookie Protection.
