Google updates Firebase with new personalization features, security tools and more
At its I/O developer conference, Google today announced a slew of updates to its Firebase developer platform, which, as the company also announced, now powers over 3 million apps.
There’s a number of major updates here, most of which center around improving existing tools like Firebase Remote Config and Firebase’s monitoring capabilities, but there are also a number of completely new features here as well, including the ability to create Android App Bundles and a new security tool called App Check.
“Helping developers be successful is what makes Firebase successful,” Firebase product manager Kristen Richards told me ahead of today’s announcements. “So we put helpfulness and helping developers at the center of everything that we do.” She noted that during the pandemic, Google saw a lot of people who started to focus on app development both as learners and as professional developers.

Chrome 88 was released only last week, marking the release of the Manifest V3 extension API, changes to password management, and the official death of Adobe Flash support.

Chrome 89 promises less memory greed and a cooler, quieter Mac

Google claims to have tamed Chrome’s memory-hungry ways, with the Chrome M89 release of the browser reportedly making big cuts when it comes to system demands. Long a topic of frustration, Chrome’s hunger for RAM – as well as other Windows, Mac, and Android resources – has also long been a focus for Google’s Chromium engine team, and this time they say they’ve made significant improvements.
In Windows, for example, Chrome 89 is showing up to 22-percent memory savings in the browser process. That’s not all, either: the Chromium team claims it can also save 8-percent in the renderer, and 3-percent in the GPU.
