The creators of CyanogenMod have this week lifted the lid on Gello, a new, open-source browser for Android that’s based on Google’s Chromium. It features a customizable user interface, a “save for offline” reading mode, site-by-site privacy settings, and other neat features.

Chrome Remote Desktop is set to get a new screen recording feature that is expected to rollout to the public very soon. Available on both Mac and PC, it will allow users to shoot how-to videos and other screen casts without having to install dedicated screen recording software.

Google released Android 4.3 Jelly Bean just 15 days ago and immediately started pushing out the new OS to Nexus devices. However, an entry has appeared on Chromium bug tracker suggesting that Android 5.0 Key Lime Pie is in the works and may already be operating on some devices.

Registered Chrome OS developers now have the option to start testing a major new feature for the operating system. After Google bought QuickOffice last year, the team at Mountain View have been working around the clock exploring avenues on how best to inject the code for reading and editing Microsoft Word and Excel documents in the Chrome OS.

Google Now, Google’s intelligent assistant that’s been wowing Android users since its introducing with Android 4.2 Jelly Bean, is coming to the company’s Chrome web browser on Windows and Chrome OS.

Its move to desktops has been the subject of rumors and speculation for a while, but until the feature recently appeared in a Chrome beta release, there’s been little evidence to back it up.
