Did You Play Dinosaur Run Game in Chrome?

Google Chrome is a browser made for accessing the internet from your Android phone. But did you know that there's a hidden game inside the browser? Whenever Chrome is unable to connect to the internet, it displays an error message with a dinosaur on top. Tapping on the dinosaur icon makes the dinosaur come alive by taking you on a side-scrolling infinite runner game. The dinosaur can do nothing except jumping. There are cactus which come along the way of the dinosaur. Hit one of them and it's game over. Timing is very crucial in this game where you have to tap to make the dinosaur jump at the right moment over the obstacles. Too early or too late and the dinosaur hits the cactus. Overall a great way to spend time when you are detached from the net.

Lawnchair Launcher is a surprisingly beautiful free alternative to Nova Launcher

Nova Launcher is one of the most well known and revered 3rd-party launchers available in the Google Play Store. It used to work great and still does it job pretty well without compromising on speed and stability. However, the best thing I liked about Nova was its ability to transform any Android device with custom manufacturer skin into a clean, stock-Android like experience. Years went by and suddenly I had the urge in me to look for an alternative to Nova Launcher. These days there are plenty of launchers out on the Play Store claiming to provide a Pixel-like experience and I tried dozens of them only to be disappointed by their lack of aesthetic taste and eagerness for earning money. Then I stumbled upon the Lawnchair Launcher and something magical happened. I switched from Nova Launcher and couldn't be happier. Lawnchair is a customizable homescreen replacement based on the Pixel Launcher. Unlike Pixel Launcher, Lawnchair boasts a huge amount of customization features but...

How to enable Chrome tabs in Android Lollipop

In Android Lollipop, Google changed the way tabs are handled in Chrome browser. Now, by default, Chrome tabs do not appear within the app. Instead they appear as separate apps in the Overview which also displays other recently used apps. Although, Google thinks that it is better to have tabs as separate apps, but you might not feel so. It's easy to get lost within recent apps and tabs. Thankfully there's a simple remedy to this problem. All you have to do is open Google Chrome and head to Settings > Merge tabs and apps. Then just turn off the feature. You will be notified that the tabs will move inside the Chrome app. That's all! You can now switch between tabs in Chrome just like you did in the previous versions of Android.
