[Update: Screenshots] Chrome OS feature will let users resume Android browsing sessions

-
...

One of the nice features in Microsoft Edge for Android is the ability to move browsing sessions from your PC to your phone, and vice-versa. For example, if you're reading an article on Edge for Android, you can tap a button to make the page appear on your desktop. Now it looks like Chrome OS might implement similar functionality.

XDA Developers spotted a commit in the Chromium Gerrit for a new Chromebook feature, titled 'Continue reading in Chrome.' The description reads, "[...] allow users to seamlessly continue reading a web page when they switch from phones or tablets to Chromebook."

Simply put, when you open a Chromebook after reading something on another device (phone, tablet, etc.), Chrome OS will ask you if you want to open that page. The feature isn't live yet, but it should appear in Chrome OS Canary soon.

Update 1: 2018/07/23 6:50pm PDT

Chrome Story has published screenshots of the new feature. When you open the app drawer, the most recent tab appears directly below the search bar.

End of Update

Waymo and Uber has reached a settlement in their self-driving car case. The announcement came as a big shock, even though I wrote yesterday that Waymo's case was looking oddly weak . Parties are free to settle in the middle of trial (heck, they can settle while the jury is considering a verdict, and they can settle even after the verdict is out) but it's pretty rare. For one thing, it's hard to think about negotiating when you're busy prepping for trial the next day. For another thing, if you were going to settle, you probably should have done it before. It's pretty messy to call off the boxing match in the middle of the third round. Taking any case to trial — let alone such a high-profile case — is messy and exorbitantly expensive, and on top of that, jury verdicts are unpredictable. Sure, by settling now, Uber and Waymo manage to avoid rolling the dice with the jury. But they still spent what was likely millions and millions of dollars on their top-billi...
