The new in the world of technology

If you've followed the story of the Google Files app's Safe folder feature, you'd know it's been a roller-coaster. It was first  spotted in developme nt mid-June , but two weeks later, we saw  signs of it being unceremoniously killed  before it even went live for anyone. Well, it now appears to be alive and well, as it just showed up in the latest Files beta version. (Update: And Google has just formally announced the rollout.) The feature allows you to move any file, be it a document or media file, into a secure location that's only accessible with a 4-digit PIN code. You might call it a porn folder, but it could also be useful for work purposes and to protect any other files you don't want someone to see inadvertently if they access your phone. In Files 1.0.323, the new  Safe folder  shows up under  Collections . Tapping it lets you set up and confirm a 4-digit PIN code that will protect your delicate files. Now when browsing through your regular files, you ca

EARLY VERDICT The Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra is big, bold and brash. It features almost every top-end spec you could want on a premium smartphone, and going on first impressions it looks capable of competing with the cream of the Android crop and Apple’s best iPhones, although we’ll need to test it more thoroughly to see if it meets our expectations. FOR Top of the line specs Strong design AGAINST Big for the hand Oddly dated ‘fast’ charging tech The new Galaxy Note 20 Ultra isn’t any bigger than Samsung’s top phone from six months ago, but it may be wholly better, with a huge 6.9-inch screen, feature-packed stylus and top-of-the-line specs. Of course, you’ll need a big hand and deep pockets to embrace Samsung’s new best.  Oddly, the Note 20 Ultra feels like more of a sibling of the Galaxy S20 Ultra than of the  Galaxy Note 20 , which was released alongside it at  Samsung's virtual Unpacked event . The standard Note 20 is a decidedly lower-specced version of the Note 20 Ultra, wh

After rolling out  Enhanced Tracking Protection  (ETP) by default last year, Mozilla has announced that the latest version of Firefox will ship with ETP 2.0 which is capable of blocking a new advanced tracking technique called redirect tracking. When users browse the web they constantly navigate between sites. For instance someone might search for “best running shoes” on a search engine, click a result to read a review and then click on a link to buy a pair of shoes from an online store. In the past, each of these websites had the ability to embed resources from the same tracker and the tracker could use its  cookies  to link all of these page visits to the same user. In order to better protect users' privacy online, ETP 1.0 blocked trackers from using cookies when they are embedded in a third party context though it still allowed them to use cookies as a first party because blocking first party cookies can often break websites. Redirect tracking takes advantage of this exception t
