Opera wants to save you from the chaos of switching between AI apps

Opera has updated its Android application to allow users to switch between various search engines and AI models directly from the browser's address bar. The new Ask AI button enables users to attach files, including photos and PDFs, for tasks like translation or summarization, and allows users to attach entire tabs for follow-up questions about webpage content. This update reduces the need to switch between multiple AI chatbot applications, enhancing the browsing experience. Opera has implemented privacy measures to restrict the AI's access to only the context of the shared tab, ensuring it does not access browsing history or other activities. The update is being rolled out on the Play Store.

Opera brings desktop AI features to its Android app

Opera has integrated innovative artificial intelligence features into its Android application, following previous updates to its desktop browsers. The latest update includes contextual AI, which allows users to use content from their current tab in prompts, and visual intelligence, enabling the attachment of images and files for AI analysis directly within the search bar. A new access point for AI is located beside the search box, allowing users to switch between traditional search and the Ask AI feature easily. The visual intelligence upgrade allows users to attach documents or photos for processing by the AI. Contextual AI reduces typing by using content from the current tab, ensuring that only relevant information is utilized and that user data is not used for AI training or advertising. The update is available for download through the Play Store.

Unlock Better Android App Results With These Google Play Search Hacks

The Google Play Store is the main source for Android applications, but its built-in filters can be inadequate, making it difficult to find valuable apps. To improve search results, users can employ several strategies: 1. Search Using Multiple Modifiers: Incorporate additional keywords to refine searches, as the Play Store treats spaces as the AND operator. 2. Use Quotation Marks: Enclose queries in quotes for exact phrase searches, which helps filter out irrelevant results. 3. Use Keywords in Different Order: Experimenting with the arrangement of keywords can yield different search results. 4. Take Advantage of Suggestions: Utilize the suggestions provided by Google while typing to inspire more specific queries. 5. Use Any Filters Available: Leverage filters like Rating, Editor’s Choice, and Price to enhance the search experience. 6. Search Play Store With App Finder: This tool offers a clean interface and various filters for improved app discovery. Users can sort by relevance, user rating, and more, and it provides detailed information about each app. 7. Consider Alternatives: Web-based platforms like AppBrain or KPlaySearch offer enhanced filtering options for app searches without needing to download another app.

As Windows 11 turns into an AI OS, Microsoft Copilot boss does not understand how AI is underwhelming

Mustafa Suleyman, Microsoft's AI CEO, noted user frustration with the aggressive integration of AI into Windows 11, despite the company's efforts to enhance user experience with features like Copilot, which operates on models similar to ChatGPT. Windows 11 includes various AI functionalities, such as Copilot Voice and Copilot Vision, and aims to transform the OS into an "agentic OS" with features like Copilot Actions in Microsoft Edge. Users have expressed dissatisfaction with AI being present in applications like Notepad and File Explorer, perceiving it as intrusive rather than beneficial. Microsoft 365 applications have also integrated Copilot functionalities, but concerns about safety and privacy persist. User feedback indicates a desire for more thoughtful AI integration, as many feel that AI is being applied to problems that do not exist, leading to stress and uncertainty regarding the operating system's control.

Do Not Click—This Porn Site Installs Malware On Your Device

Attackers are using malicious emails with links to adult websites to exploit human curiosity and urgency, leading to the installation of harmful malware through deceptive update processes. Acronis has identified these "JackFix" attacks, which use screen hijacking techniques combined with ClickFix methods, presenting victims with fake Windows Update screens that claim to deliver critical security updates. This campaign leverages counterfeit adult websites as phishing mechanisms, increasing psychological pressure on victims to comply with prompts to install updates. The attack takes over the victim's screen and displays a convincing update interface, occurring entirely within the browser. Acronis advises users to avoid accessing adult sites through links in emails or messages and to navigate directly to these sites for safer browsing.

I forced myself to run Windows 11, and to be honest, I don’t miss much about Windows 10

Windows 10 reached the end of its support, prompting an upgrade to Windows 11. Windows 11 is faster, with performance improvements claimed to be up to 2.3 times quicker than Windows 10, particularly on modern hardware. Boot times improved from 40 seconds to under 20 seconds. Battery life enhancements are reported, especially for modern devices. The Microsoft Store has been redesigned for a better user experience, allowing app uninstallation directly from the Store. The Start menu and Taskbar have been redesigned, with a more organized layout that enhances usability. The new context menu includes dedicated icons for frequently used functions. The classic Control Panel is missed, as its functionality has largely moved to the Settings app, which some find less simple. Overall, the upgrade to Windows 11 is considered worthwhile despite some areas needing refinement.

Best Android browser app is about to get even better

The Samsung Internet Browser app can be installed from the Play Store and the Galaxy Store. An upcoming update with One UI 8.5 is expected to coincide with the Galaxy S26 series launch. The update will feature a new icon, a revamped welcome screen, and a floating address bar that disappears while scrolling. Users will be able to block fixed-position pop-ups, and the tab management layout will resemble the Gallery app's grid view. A compact floating bar will allow customization of button arrangements. Users will also be able to "like" videos directly from the browser, and the browser will check for APK availability in the Galaxy Store during downloads. Additionally, a pop-up will offer the option to close all open tabs when closing the browser, with the ability to disable this feature for future sessions.
