Goodbye Chrome — Firefox finally became the Android browser I always wanted

Goodbye Chrome — Firefox finally became the Android browser I always wanted

I’ve used Chrome on Android for so long that I learned to accept and live with certain elements of the browser I really didn’t like. This habit was born out of convenience; Chrome is already installed, and most sites render well on Chrome. But recently I downloaded Firefox on my Android, and one specific feature surprised me: I could install extensions on the mobile app. This made Firefox feel less like the smaller browser I tolerated on mobile and more like a browser that I actually wanted on my phone. Related I found an Android browser that runs Chrome extensions — and I don’t get why it’s not popular It’s strange seeing my favorite extensions running on mobile. A phone browser that finally bends to me Extensions turn Firefox into something you edit, not just use Kanika Gogia / MUO It clicked when I visited a news website and the layout just felt calm; much calmer than I remembered. I did not notice those sidebars that would always shove the text into a narrow column, …

Ariana Grande, Eternal Sunshine review sombre – pop star’s London O2 show felt like a goodbye

Get the inside track from Roisin O’Connor with our free weekly music newsletter Now Hear This Get our free music newsletter Now Hear This Get our free music newsletter Now Hear This Ariana Grande has spent the last 18 months talking about disappearing. During podcast appearances in 2024 and 2025, she discussed her plans to slow down and fade out, and described her then-forthcoming Eternal Sunshine tour – her first run of live shows since 2019 – as a “last hurrah”. Often, her own interest in being Ariana Grande has come into question, as she’s seemed to find greater creative bliss in musical theatre and acting – her first loves – than pop stardom. Similarly, she’s hinted in her new music at a tangled, oppressive dynamic with her own fandom. “Is it really my fault,” she sings on her recent No 1 single “Hate That I Made You Love Me”, “you all gave me your hearts of your own accord?” So that slightly hectoring statement from her spokesperson last month, in which Grande announced an …

Tommy John, ex-Yankees pitcher and namesake of career-saving surgery, says goodbye amid health issues

Tommy John, ex-Yankees pitcher and namesake of career-saving surgery, says goodbye amid health issues

“Thanks to Dr. Jobe, who saved my arm & made it possible for me to continue pitching,” John said in his statement. “That surgery has since gone on to save the careers of countless pitchers, including many of the very best in the game today.” The procedure has become so common that the word “surgery” is often dropped in baseball parlance. A player could say he’s “having Tommy John” and those in the game would know exactly what that meant. Some of modern baseball’s greatest pitchers, such as Justin Verlander, Shohei Ohtani, Tarik Skubal and Chris Sale, have had this surgery. John’s career included stints with the Yankees, Chicago White Sox, Los Angeles Dodgers, California Angels, Oakland A’s and Cleveland Indians. “The day I left for my first job as a pitcher, my father looked at me & said, ‘Good luck, Tommy. Just remember one thing: whether you make it big in the big leagues or you don’t, you’ll always just be Tommy John from Terre Haute, Indiana,’” the statement said. “I’ve never forgotten those …

How Hello! fought back after saying goodbye to Google Discover traffic

How Hello! fought back after saying goodbye to Google Discover traffic

Hello! chief content officer Sophie Vokes-Dudgeon and screenshot of the Hello! website homepage on 31 July 2026 Celebrity and royal magazine brand Hello! has “plugged the gap” from lost advertising revenue from Google Discover page views by boosting content syndication. Advertising revenue share from platforms like Apple News, MSN, Yahoo and Newsbreak is seen as a bridge while Hello! builds up its first digital paid membership offering, chief content officer Sophie Vokes-Dudgeon told the Press Gazette podcast. She described a “year of transformation” for Hello! following a massive hit to its Google Discover traffic that began in August 2025 and saw website audience fall 24% (to 4.7 million) compared to the month before. Vokes-Dudgeon said Hello! had been “riding a Google wave” and that Discover in particular had helped it reach a peak audience of about 40 million unique visitors globally per month. She said Hello! had seen Google fluctuations in the past, notably following a major website relaunch in 2023, but that it was the Discover algorithm change towards promoting social media posts, Youtube …

Say Goodbye To Heatwave Chafing With This Bamboo Underwear From Step One

Say Goodbye To Heatwave Chafing With This Bamboo Underwear From Step One

Step One If there’s one thing we take good care of in summer, it’s our skin. Or the skin on our face, at least.  While we spend the sunny months and beyond prepping our faces with acids, primers, and sunscreens, other areas get ignored. But it’s time we get real about the spots that get the most sweaty during the heatwave – our genitals. Yep, I’m going there. You might be wearing breathable cotton and linens on the rest of your body, but most of us forget to protect our bits during the heat, and they need just as much attention.  I’m sure I don’t need to tell you this, but sweating down there gets uncomfortable pretty quickly. You don’t need to suffer in silence, though, because I’ve found the solution to better comfort between your legs in the heatwave: bamboo underwear. Although lots of underwear brands use polyester and synthetic materials in their underwear, that could contribute to excess sweat, and won’t let your genitals breathe properly. Talk about a one way ticket to …
