Automatically clearing your Google Chrome browser’s cookies when you close or exit Chrome is a good way to maintain control over cookies and other tracking tokens. While you should always manually clear your Chrome cache and history, I recommend that you clear cookies on a regular basis. So, since I forget to do this regularly, I’m going to follow how to configure Google Chrome to delete cookies on both PC and MacOS when you automatically close the browser.

Note that deleting the Chrome history does not delete the Google search history. You can do it, but it’s a different process. The following steps remove all browsing history and website information from your Chrome account. read more

Many people have privacy concerns when using voice prompts such as Google Assistant, especially in light of some recent articles. Now, Google wants to give users more control over their voice data from the assistant by allowing them to delete that data at any time with a simple voice command.

Google has always made it possible to view and delete all voice data in the wizard, but getting to the site to do so can sometimes be a bit tedious. Now the process is much easier. You can delete data at any time with a single voice command. read more

Microsoft Teams are constantly evolving, but that doesn’t change the fact that people often complain about the echo they hear in meetings with others. It can happen to you too.

It’s annoying if you’re a remote employee or if you’re constantly taking advantage of the benefits of phone meetings. In trying to solve the problem, you may have adjusted the microphone and speaker settings without any improvement.

The new Chromium-based Microsoft Edge Browser is available not only on the Windows operating system, but also on MacOS, Android and iOS.

As the new Edge is based on Chromium, Google Chrome browser extensions are immediately supported, and most Chrome features are also available in the new Edge.

If you have installed the new Edge on multiple supported devices, you must use the sync feature to synchronize Edge browser data between your devices. This means that you can synchronize passwords, favorites, addresses and contact information, and browser settings across all devices using the same Microsoft account on all devices. read more

Displaying clocks with multiple time zones is convenient when you are busy with work, friends or family around the world. It can even be useful to know when a live event (such as a Microsoft Build Keynote) is in a different time zone.

In Windows 10, you can set up to three different clocks: the main clock, which is set to your local time, and two additional clocks with different time zones. You can view all three by clicking or dragging your mouse over the clock in the taskbar.

In this Windows 10 tutorial, we will show you how to set the time zone clocks and how to track even more time zones with the Alarms & Clock application. read more

Countless players have embarked on Rare’s latest adventure, Sea of Thieves. The game has generated a lot of excitement over the past few months, leading many overzealous players to embark on the game without paying attention to the various prompts that appear when the software is first launched. The result is that many players reject a critical question that effectively disables the voice chat function in the game. Fortunately for chatty sailors, we know how to restore voice chat in the Sea of Thieves and how it should work. read more

Google Keep is Google’s version of a note-taking application – but it’s more than just checklists or quick thoughts written in a moment of inspiration.

Because it was created by Google, it automatically syncs with Google Drive so you can access it from any device you use your Google Account on, whether it’s a computer, mobile phone, or tablet. That way, you won’t have to search through your different accounts or devices to find the right score.

One of the biggest benefits of Keep is its seamless integration with the entire Google ecosystem. For example, if you rely heavily on Gmail, Google Drive or Google Docs, you can easily share the elements of Keep across platforms, either within the Keep application or through a Google application that supports Keep. read more

Create surveys or task lists in your Google Docs or Sheets file using checklists. This simple solution allows you to insert a simple checklist into your document for others to complete.

Checklists are a convenient and effective way to stay informed and get things done. I remember discovering their many benefits in a study in my district a few years ago when I read the “Checklist Manifesto”.

Checklists can be used in a number of ways, for students for instance:

• Steps in a science experiment
• Self-monitoring of behaviour
• Mastery of technical content and standards
• Tasks when composing and editing your writing
• Work according to a mathematical process
• And many others…
