You know how sometimes you used a Mac and all your passwords were stored there, but for some reasons you had to switch to a Windows PC and it annoyed you that you have to log in to all your accounts again, and considering how short our memory span is related to remembering passwords there is a high possibility you do not remember any. Well, there is some good news for you. A news came through this past week that Apple has released a Chrome Extension for Windows which will allow you to use iCloud Key Chain Passwords to be used on PCs. That means if you use Google as an Apple Browser and an iCloud Keychain to store your passwords this can make shifting between using Mac and Windows PC very easy.
Has it ever happened to you that you are searching for some information about a particular topic, but which ever site you are opening the information on it is different and vague than what the title was portraying or simply do you get worried that opening some unidentified websites or websites you are not aware of can bring viruses harmful for your system? Well worry not, because Google just came up with a really cool feature that will omit all your worries. Google recently updated a new feature in its search results called “about this result.” This feature will help you see a summarized information content from Wikipedia present in the link from your search results so that it easier for you to vet sites which you are not aware of and to prevent you from wasting time scrolling through information if it is of no use to you.

Apple Pulls iCloud 12 Update For Windows By Tyler Lee, on 02/02/2021 02:37 PST Yesterday, we reported that after a premature announcement, Apple had finally released the latest version of iCloud for Windows. With this update, Apple brought its iCloud Keychain feature to Google Chrome where it could now be used as an extension of the browser to help users fill in passwords for logins that were previously saved in iCloud. Advertising However, it seems that if you haven’t updated to iCloud 12 already, don’t be surprised if you don’t have the update waiting for you. This is because a report from The 8-Bit has revealed that Apple has since pulled the update. The current version available for Windows is version 11.6.32.0, versus the version 12 that was released yesterday.
