Google Chrome is Now an AI Browser

If a lack of glittery AI baubles in your preferred web browser has you feeling like a luddite, fear ye not: Google has announced a new AI browser — one you may have heard of: Chrome. A new blog post by Google details how the search giant is “reimagining” Chrome with AI. This is not about adding new features, it says — casting sideeye on the likes of Mozilla as it frantically bolts AI junk on to Firefox like a cartoon character running out of rail road — but “fundamentally changing the nature of browsing”. For Google, that means “moving from […]

📰 Linux 6.17 File-System Benchmarks, Including OpenZFS & Bcachefs

Linux 6.17 is an interesting time to carry out fresh file-system benchmarks given that EXT4 has seen some scalability improvements while Bcachefs in the mainline kernel is now in a frozen state. Linux 6.17 is also what's powering Fedora 43 and Ubuntu 25.10 out-of-the-box to make such a comparison even more interesting. Today's article is looking at the out-of-the-box performance of EXT4, Btrfs, F2FS, XFS, Bcachefs and then OpenZFS too.

You Can Now Download Ubuntu’s Daily Dangerous Desktop Image

Ubuntu’s new daily “Dangerous” desktop builds are now available download — ideal for anyone who find the current Ubuntu 25.10 Beta a little too un-risky! Not that he Ubuntu Dangerous builds are inherently dangerous, of course. They are regular daily builds of Ubuntu’s development release, but with preinstalled Snaps preconfigured on their respective ‘edge’ channels, rather than the latest in-series stable (like a normal daily build). Canonical’s engineers announced plans for Ubuntu Dangerous desktop images last month (which I covered in a snarky conversation format). Today, 19 September, the first ISOs were published on the Ubuntu CD image server. Ubuntu […]
