In Google Chrome, the Window menu includes the "Move to <device>" option, which names my iPhone and iPad. For example: Window > "Move to <iPad name>". Why does Chrome have awareness of these devices? I use Chrome rarely and don't log into anything when I'm in Chrome, not my Apple account, not... -

Google Chrome bad, Safari also bad
I have a problem guys. I have been using Google Chrome for the past couple of years. Recently though, it started to drain my battery so fast to the point my MBP M1 was just unusable without plugged in. It would even heat up which I have never experienced. Well since a week I have been using...- Sarah_Baker

iPad Pro Smaller fonts in Chrome?

Google Chrome is hiding file extensions of downloaded images
As it says on the tin, starting a few weeks ago Google Chrome (75.0.3770.142) defaults to hide file extensions when downloading images. There is a "Hide Extension" tickbox at the lower left of the Save dialogue and it is on by default. This happens only in Chrome. Safari also has this tickbox...- jimmueller

Heard Google Chrome is getting rid of extensions.
