Chrome Boosts Productivity with New Features Amid Browser Competition
Google announced the official launch of three new Chrome features: Split View, in-browser PDF annotations, and a Save to Google Drive option. Split View enables two pages side-by-side within a single tab (dragging a tab to the window edge or right-clicking a link opens a page in split mode). The PDF annotation tools let users highlight, add notes, sign, and fill forms without leaving the browser. Save to Google Drive stores PDFs directly into a 'Saved from Chrome' folder. The update follows earlier integration of Google’s Gemini AI assistant into Chrome and comes amid heightened competition from AI-driven browser efforts (e.g., OpenAI, Perplexity and alternative browsers like Arc and Dia). Google is also preparing support for vertical tabs as it evolves Chrome’s consumer features.
Apple Releases iOS 26.4 with 70+ Security Fixes
Apple has released version 26.4 for its operating systems, including iOS, iPadOS, macOS, watchOS, tvOS, visionOS and HomePod software. The update patches a large number of security vulnerabilities (Apple lists over 70 fixes for macOS 26.4), improves system behaviour (keyboard responsiveness, Liquid‑Glass UI controls), and adds user features such as eight new Unicode 17 emojis, an Apple Music ambient/concert widget, and optional compact Safari tab/address layout on iPad and Mac. Apple integrated the Freeform whiteboard app into the paid Creator Studio and changed Family Sharing so adult members can add their own payment methods. Some features tested in betas — notably end‑to‑end encryption for RCS and other items — will arrive later. The release also includes EU‑specific interoperability changes allowing certain third‑party watches and headphones to receive/handle iOS notifications and device switching within EU member states.
