Google Chrome on Android could soon have a new feature intended for tabs, iPhone applications do not always have to be closed, Neuralink allows you to move a mouse by thought, that’s the recap.
If you’re used to opening dozens or hundreds of tabs on Google Chrome for Android, the next update might be of great interest to you. For its part, Apple recommends not closing its applications, since keeping them in the background does not penalize your smartphone. Finally, Elon Musk announces that the first patient to receive a Neuralink chip has recovered, and has even gained a new talent. Come on, here we go for the recap of the day for Tuesday February 20, 2024.
Managing tabs on Google Chrome will become easier on Android
Google Chrome for Android will soon improve tab management by introducing tab groups. This feature, already available on the desktop version, allows users to group and organize their tabs according to their preferences. It is currently being tested in the experimental version of Chrome for Android, Chrome Canary, and can be activated via the chrome://flags page.

Closing tabs on an iPhone isn’t very useful
Many people think that closing apps on their iPhone saves battery and speed. But it’s wrong ! Apple says you shouldn’t do this, because iOS knows how to manage applications on its own. Closing apps can even be bad for battery and performance. And it doesn’t protect privacy either, because apps can still access our data. It is better to change the application settings or the “Background App Refresh” function.

Neuralink is already a success, according to Elon Musk
Elon Musk announced that the first human to receive a Neuralink chip in his brain can now control a computer mouse with his mind. This is therefore a big step forward for technology that wants to help disabled people regain their movements. The chip picks up signals from the brain when the person wants to move. It sends them to the computer which translates them into actions. Elon Musk even specifies that the patient is doing well and that he had no problems after the operation.
