Google’s new “Jarvis” AI Assistant set to enhance Chrome Someone at Google seems nostalgic for Marvel, as the company prepares to introduce a new browser assistant, “Jarvis.” Built on the anticipated Gemini model, Jarvis will automate routine browsing tasks, like information gathering, summarizing, online shopping, and ticket booking, right inside Chrome. Set for announcement in December, the assistant might first be available to a limited group of testers while Google works out any bugs, ensuring a smooth experience upon wider release.

Apple’s poor design choices: coincidence or intent? Apple’s recent design choices have left many users scratching their heads. For example, the new Mac Mini’s power button is inconveniently located on the bottom, requiring users to lift or tilt the device just to turn it on or restart it. Likewise, the mouse design has a charging port on the underside, making it impossible to use while charging. This setup has users wondering if Apple prioritizes aesthetics over functionality or if these choices are simply foolish. What’s your take?

Minecraft is losing VR support next year The Browser Company, led by CEO Josh Miller, is shifting focus from Arc, their current browser for power users, to a new, more accessible browser designed to cater to everyone. Despite Arc's rapid growth and loyal user base, it's complex and too different for mainstream appeal. So, instead of trying to make Arc fit, the team will develop a fresh, AI-driven browser that’s more proactive and streamlined, aiming to make online tasks seamless. This new browser, potentially launching next year, will be simple to start using, with plans to reveal advanced capabilities over time. Arc will remain supported, but the real innovation will be in this next browser. 💬 | Let's chat! ⚡️ | You can boost 📣 Join the Twapple Community @HubCollabs / #News #Tech #Browser #Arc
