The Chromium team is prototyping Web Monetization to allow websites to automatically receive micro payments from visitors for their content, bypassing traditional ad or subscription models. The Register reports: Earlier this month, Alexander Surkov, a software engineer at open source consultancy Igalia, announced the Chromium team's intent to prototype Web Monetization, an incubating community specification that would let websites automatically receive payments from online visitors, as opposed to advertisers, via a web browser and a designated payment service. "Web monetization is a web technology that enables website owners to receive micro payments from users as they interact with their content," Surkov wrote in an explanatory document published last summer. "It provides a way for content creators and website owners to be compensated for their work without relying solely on ads or subscriptions. Notably, Web Monetization (WM) offers two unique features -- small payments and no user interaction -- that address several important scenarios currently unmet on the web." "Open Payments API is an open HTTP-based standard created to facilitate micro transactions on the web," wrote Surkov. "It is implemented by a wallet and enables the transfer of funds between two wallets. It leverages fine-grained access grants, based on GNAP (Grant Negotiation and Authorization Protocol), which gives wallet owners precise control over the permissions granted to applications connected to their wallet." The basic idea is web users will get a digital wallet, provided by Gatehub and Fynbos presently, and web publishers will add a link tag to their site's block formatted like so: . Thereafter, site visitors who have linked their digital wallet to their browser will pay out funds to the requesting publisher, subject to the browser's permissions policy.

Microsoft Edge is apparently usurping Chrome on people’s PCs

Microsoft Edge is apparently usurping Chrome on people’s PCs

If you run the Chrome browser in Windows 10 or 11 and you've suddenly discovered that you're running Microsoft Edge instead, you're not alone. The Verge's Tom Warren reports that he and multiple other users on social media and Microsoft's support forums have suddenly found their Chrome browsing sessions mysteriously replicated in Edge.

Without an official comment from Microsoft, Warren posits that the tab-snatching happened because of a bug or an inadvertently clicked-through dialog box that triggers a feature in Edge that's meant to make it easier to (intentionally) switch browsers. The setting, which can accessed by typing edge://settings/profiles/importBrowsingData into the browser's address bar, offers to import recent browsing data from Chrome every time you launch Edge, as opposed to the one-time data import it offers for Firefox.

The setting in question, as seen on a Windows 11 23H2 system running Edge 122. It will offer to continuously import data from Chrome, but not from other browsers. Edge will offer a one-time data import from Firefox, but most other browsers (like Opera) don't show up here. (credit: Andrew Cunningham)

Assuming it is a bug, this data-importing issue is hard to distinguish from some of Microsoft's actual, officially sanctioned, easy-to-reproduce tactics for pushing Edge. I encountered two of these while installing Chrome on a PC for this piece—one when I navigated to the Chrome download page and another across the top of Edge's Settings pages after I had set another browser as my default.

The year of Windows on Arm? Google launches official Chrome builds.

Chrome is landing on a new platform: Windows on Arm. We don't have an official announcement yet, but X user Pedro Justo was the first to spot that the Chrome Canary page now quietly hosts binaries for " Windows 11 Arm ."

Chrome has run on Windows for a long time, but that's the x86 version. It also supports various Arm OSes, like Android, Chrome OS, and Mac OS. There's also Chromium, the open source codebase on Chrome, which has run on Windows Arm for a while now, thanks mostly to Microsoft's Edge browser being a Chromium derivative. The official "Google Chrome" has never been supported on Windows on Arm until now, though.

Windows may be a huge platform, but "Windows on Arm" is not. Apple's switch to the Arm architecture has been a battery life revelation for laptops, and in the wake of that, interest in Windows on Arm has picked up . A big inflection point will be the release of laptops with the Qualcomm Snapdragon X Elite SoC in mid-2024. Assuming Qualcomm's pre-launch hype pans out, this will be the first Arm on Windows chip to be in the same class as Apple Silicon. Previously, Windows on Arm could only run Chrome as an x86 app via a slow translation layer, so getting the world's most popular browser to a native quality level in time for launch will be a big deal for Qualcomm.

Google agrees to settle Chrome incognito mode class action lawsuit

Google agrees to settle Chrome incognito mode class action lawsuit

Google has indicated that it is ready to settle a class-action lawsuit filed in 2020 over its Chrome browser's Incognito mode. Arising in the Northern District of California, the lawsuit accused Google of continuing to "track, collect, and identify [users'] browsing data in real time" even when they had opened a new Incognito window.

The lawsuit, filed by Florida resident William Byatt and California residents Chasom Brown and Maria Nguyen, accused Google of violating wiretap laws. It also alleged that sites using Google Analytics or Ad Manager collected information from browsers in Incognito mode, including web page content, device data, and IP address. The plaintiffs also accused Google of taking Chrome users' private browsing activity and then associating it with their already-existing user profiles.

Google initially attempted to have the lawsuit dismissed by pointing to the message displayed when users turned on Chrome's incognito mode. That warning tells users that their activity "might still be visible to websites you visit."
