Learning a new language is fun. But it can be much more fun if complimented with this language tutor tool on chrome. There are of course several activities that will usher you into learning a new language like podcasts and watching TV and movie channel in the language of choice.

However, If you think youre not making the desired progress at learning your targeted language, then this chrome app is for you, Ill like you to acknowledge with me a chrome app called Language Immersion for Chrome (LI). LI will easily get you started learning a new language and as well keep you up with knowledge you already have on a language until you master it.

To get started, simply help the language tutor app understand your level of understanding of the targeted language by rating your fluency which is from novice to proficient.

LI will integrate language phrases and words from your chosen language into the web pages you visit on a daily basis, the chrome tool depends on Google translator which provides translation in up to 64 languages.

Download the language immersion for chrome and install on your PC, subsequently, youll see an icon that appears by the right side of the URL bar, simply click on that icon to choose your targeted language and choose how well you can speak the language and youre set for learning.

The tool will slip into the websites you visit a couple of your chosen language, you can easily change the whole page back to primary language in case you get stuck, also available is an option to translate slipped in phrases with voice translation from Google translate.

As your performance improves more phrases are translated into your targeted language until youre able to translate a whole in the targeted language yourself which might mean fluency.

The tool may not be all you need to learn a new language, but it sure can compliment your learning efforts and make learning that language easier and much more faster.

Many people believed Facebook is going overboard by trying to spy its millions of users and extract as Much information it can lay its hands upon for marketing purpose. 

 

They dig deep into what is flying around on the social media between friends, groups and individuals, this off set Juraj Ivan who in about 24 hours developed a chrome and safari extension that will kill all of Facebook strategy to advertise or cunningly compel its users to perform a task.

The chrome app works like an ad-blocker, the apps named "your Facebook friend feeds" once you start using the app all feed from Facebook can be blocked off except for ones you intentionally permit. You only see information directed to you from friends alone and not some obtrusive messages like "your friend just like..."

Myself, Ive sometimes perceived social media as time zappers, simply because Facebook will try every effort to keep you on the website for as long as possible. They know more time you spent on the website is more means to market their services to you.

The Slovakian Developer explains that it took him just 24 hours to develop the tool.

Yesterday  developed this simple chrome extension, that hide all stories that are not directly from your friends or pages you follow. As a result of it, i already stopped visiting Facebook so often, its enough to visit once, twice s day and i dont miss anything important from ny friends".

He further explained what instigate him to develop the tool:

"I realized that i visit Facebook too often because there is always something new, but mostly its stories from people snd pages I dont follow.But these stories appear on my news feed because my friends like them. Having my newsfeed cluttered like that i often miss stories from friends themselves".

We really cant say if this tool has come to stay, because i think the team at Facebook should be unto it by now.

Google Announced that it will roll out an Algorithm update to make its chrome browser faster than ever.

The change will constitute a data compressing filter called BROTLI, which was first disclosed by Google in September 2015. The Algorithm update will help chrome browsers compress the sizes of Websites to up to 26 per cent better than what we see in the previous Chrome compression tool- Zopfli.

The Algorithm change is named after a Swiss German baked food, Brotli- to mean "small bread".

Google Engineer Illya Grigorik in a post on Google+ , announced that Brotli will be integrated into Chrome soon, may be in the browsers next update.

"At Google, we think that internet users time is valuable, and that they shouldnt have to wait long for a webpage to load," Google (GOOG) said in a September blog post, when it first announced Brotli. "Because fast is better than slow."
The code is available as open-source codes for interested web developers and browsers to use, Mozilla for instance already showed interest in the Algorithm code to enhance its browser as well.
