Search the world's information, including webpages, images, videos and more. Google has many special features to help you find exactly what you're looking for.
In a notable shift in the AI landscape, Apple and Google have announced a multi-year collaboration under which Apple s next generation of Apple Foundation Models will be based on Google s Gemini models and cloud technology.
According to the joint statement, these models will help power upcoming Apple Intelligence features, including a more personalized Siri, expected later this year.
Google released a lot of updates at its annual I/O conference.
One of them, which has been a success, is 3D video conferencing (it reminds me a bit of the era when 3D movies were a big boom in 2009). So I assume that we may soon see 4D and 5D experiences.
I m growing a small SaaS. And cloud costs are starting to hurt. I keep hearing about founders stacking $100-300k in Google Cloud credits, but all the advice feels vague or locked behind big-name accelerators. Where did you actually get credits? Any creative hacks or things to avoid? If you ve cracked this, I d love to hear what worked.
And if you re still figuring it out too, just drop a comment. If I ve gathered some useful stuff, I'll be happy to share.
Reviewers mostly see Google as the default tool for finding information and getting everyday work done: search is repeatedly praised as fast, accurate, easy to use, and tightly connected to services like Maps, Gmail, Drive, and Docs across devices. The main criticism is consistent too: privacy, targeted ads, and broader trust concerns. A few users also mention weak support and some product-specific friction, like outdated map data or clunky Drive actions. Makers of findable. and SurfPal also highlight Google’s AI, Chrome, and Drive integrations as strong technical standards.

Been waiting for a credit card that actually works like UPI, and Flex finally gets it right. The application took maybe 3 minutes. No branch visit, no document upload drama. Was using it within the same session. Currently it is available in India.
Vantage in Google Labs is the most interesting thing Google Research has shipped in a while. Using GenAI avatars to assess soft skills like collaboration and critical thinking is a genuinely novel approach — most skills assessments are either self-reported (easily gamed) or scenario-based with human evaluators (expensive and inconsistent). The personal Skill Map output gives you something concrete to act on, not just a score. The free access on Google Labs lowers the bar to try it. Curious how the calibration data accumulates over time as more people use it.
What needs improvement
Data privacy transparency could be better. With Google collecting assessment data on collaboration and critical thinking behaviors, it would build more trust to be explicit about what's stored, how long it's kept, and whether it feeds back into product training data.
Google is more than just a search engine—it’s a full ecosystem that powers productivity, communication, and information access. Whether it’s Gmail for email, Google Drive for storage, or Google Docs for collaboration, everything is designed to work seamlessly across devices.
The accuracy and speed of Google Search are unmatched, making it the go-to source for information. Google Maps has transformed how people navigate, while YouTube remains the best platform for video content. Google Assistant is another standout feature that enhances the smart home experience.
While Google offers free, high-quality services, data privacy remains a concern. The personalized ads can sometimes feel overwhelming, but Google provides options to manage privacy settings. Overall, it’s hard to imagine a digital life without Google—it’s an essential part of modern technology.
Gosh, this was needed, like, yesterday! 🚀 I mean, let's be honest, the old Chrome Web Store sucked and was looking like it was stuck in the Windows XP era. It really was about time Google gave it a makeover! 👨🚀
Remember those days when we used to think that Windows XP design was cutting-edge? Well, I do. And I didn't like these dark times, when everything was slow. The Google Chrome Store reminded me of the time when I could do a pizza while my Computer was booting .. 🍕 and I had to open YouTube videos 30 minutes before watching them. This is the feeling which was created by the old Chrome Store design and I am really happy that you guys fixed that finally.
A little breath of fresh air for our beloved browser. Sleek, modern, and looks like it was designed in this decade.
I've dabbled in some other browsers like Firefox Klar, Brave, and even Arc, I sometimes use Safari for work, but Chrome has always been my go-to.
While I'm loving the spiffy new look, I'm also curious about what you've done to supercharge things for developers 😎💻 I mean, c'mon, it's like giving a superhero a shiny new costume, but I want to know if I've got some cool new powers to go with it! Have you made it easier for developers like me to whip up extensions? Are there any new awesome features? So far I didn't found too much whilst playing around with the new version..
I always wondered: why isn't Google growing the Chrome Web Store like the Android Play Store? There's so much untapped potential here! 🌟
With AI on the rise, there are amazing opportunities waiting to be explored.
In any cases: great makeover - I really like it. 👏
