Unveiling the Chrome Web Store’s Redesign

Posted on September 8, 2023 by Michael G

Unveiling the Chrome Web Store's Redesign


In celebration of Chrome’s 15th birthday, we’re thrilled to introduce the redesigned Chrome Web Store. With a user-centric focus, we’ve made it easier for you to search and find fun themes and helpful extensions to stay productive at home or at work. Let’s go behind the scenes and learn more about this redesign from Chrome Product Manager Hafsah Ismail and UX Designer Crystal Wang.


What influenced your decision to redesign the Chrome Web Store?

Hafsah: Chrome and the Web have evolved in remarkable ways. We now have extensions that unlock uncharted levels of productivity for developers or harness the power of generative AI to reshape work as we know it. It only felt natural to evolve the store to continue to meet the dynamic needs of users and developers in our ecosystem. Extensions and themes lie at the heart of a personalized Chrome experience, so it was a natural progression to give the store a fresh, contemporary look to align with this transformation.

 

Can you share more details about the design?

Crystal: This project was an amazing opportunity to redesign everything from the ground up, and was a collaborative team effort with product, research, writing, and more. Our main goals were to modernize the UI and create a well-lit path for users to find high quality extensions and themes to make the web work better for them. Two key areas of the design I’m particularly proud of are the refreshed look and feel and global navigation and search.


Seamless, global navigation and search

We updated the navigation and search experience to be seamless, universal and easily accessible, no matter where the user is in their extension discovery journey.

New categories based on user needs and lifestyle

Extension and theme categories were revamped to be more expansive, relevant, and focused on usefulness and purpose.

Modern and expressive look & feel

The redesign was an exciting opportunity to modernize the UI with Google’s latest design system, Material 3, allowing for a more modern, consistent and intuitive user experience. We also created brand new illustrations to help users connect with extensions on a more meaningful level; differentiating us from any other extension store on the market.

What’s new in the Chrome Web Store for developers?

Hafsah: Amplifying our developers is a critical part of our storefront’s redesign.  We’re introducing a self-nomination form for developers to showcase their extensions for a spot in our Editor’s Picks collection. We’re eager to highlight extensions that:

  • Have a high-quality listing including visually appealing assets

  • Provide clear value to the user, and add to their Chrome experience

  • Are from a range of developers, big and small!

Please feel free to check out our developer post for more information and as a place for feedback from the community. 


What are some of your favorite recent additions to store? 

Hafsah:

  • Instapaper: I’m passionate about tech and cooking, always eager to discover the newest innovations and curate articles and recipes. Instapaper has become an essential extension for me; its power lies in letting me save anything I want to revisit later, a tool you don’t realize you need until you do.

  • Noisli:  As a product manager who finds herself in energizing meetings, I really value creating the perfect work environment for deep work and reflection.  Extensions like Noisli are game-changers, enabling the perfect environment for focused work. With Noisli, I can curate the soundtrack to my productivity

Crystal:

  • Todoist for Chrome: I’m someone who loves being organized, and I’ve always been super big on writing physical checklists. Recently, I’ve been very into Todoist to make to-do lists in my Chrome browser, and this productivity extension has become a personal favorite.

  • Asian & Pacific Islander Artist Theme Series: Being an Asian American, I’m also a huge fan and extra proud of the Asian & Pacific Islander Artist Themes series created by our team. I currently have Crested Ibis installed on my browser and I love it!

The Approved Open Source Licenses never looked better

The Open Source community needs a resource to confidently and easily identify licenses that have gained OSI approval, and now they have it. This Approval Registry offers a comprehensive and authoritative listing of all licenses so organizations know that the license they choose for their project allows their software to be freely used, modified, shared and monetized in compliance with the Open Source Definition.

UK has not backed down in tech encryption row, minister says

Posted on September 8, 2023 by Michael G
Over the past few days, there have been a lot of reports in the media that the UK government was backing down from its requirement that every end-to-end encrypted messenger application inside the country had to give the government backdoor access to these messenger applications. However, after reading the actual words from the UK’s junior minister Stephen Parkinson, it seemed like all she did was give a “pinky promise!” not to enforce this requirement. The law itself did not change, is not changing, and will not change, and the requirement is still in there. Today, the UK’s technology minister Michelle Donelan made that even clearer than it already was. Donelan, however, denied on Thursday that the bill had been watered down in the final stages before it becomes law. “We haven’t changed the bill at all,” she told Times Radio. “If there was a situation where the mitigations that the social media providers are taking are not enough, and if after further work with the regulator they still can’t demonstrate that they can meet the requirements within the bill, then the conversation about technology around encryption takes place,” she said. This raises an interesting question – why was everyone so keen on pushing the narrative yesterday that the “technology sector” had won, and that the UK government had backed down? Well, Facebook and Apple have kind of talked themselves into a corner in response to the UK’s requirement for backdoor access to WhatsApp and iMessage. The two companies threatened they would pull these services out of the UK if the government didn’t remove this requirement. When it became clear that the UK government wasn’t going to back down, Facebook and Apple were going to lose a lot of face if they didn’t actually pull WhatsApp and iMessage out of the UK in response. They needed something to get them out of this. This vague pinky promise is all they needed. Now they can shit all over their supposed morals and values once again, completely abandon their grandstanding and promises about protecting end-to-end encryption in messaging, and continue to operate in the UK as if nothing has changed, despite them legally being obligated to break end-to-end encryption if the UK government asks them to – which they can now do whenever it pleases them. And entirely unsurprisingly, the general tech media, ever looking to please the corporations they are supposed to do the journalism stuff about, fell for it, hook, line, and sinker. The narrative that the UK backed down and Facebook and Google won is out there now, and that’s all the tech sector needed.

New BMW X1 SUV 2024

Posted on September 7, 2023 by Michael G
Longer and Wider Interior, New BMW X1 SUV 2024

New BMW X1 A total of 4 models were launched. The front of the new car has a wider kidney-shaped grille and the exterior is sportier as well. The new BMW X1 has a wheelbase of 2802mm, which is longer than the current model and helps create a wider interior.

Price Range is 288,900-349,900 Yuan.

The next-gen X1 still adopts the familiar double kidney grille design, but has been further increased in size; This has also been the trend of recent years for the chrome-plated BMW front grilles to further emphasize the elegant atmosphere. The headlights on both sides are also quite distinctive. The double “7” structure is well recognized after it is illuminated. The heat dissipation and ventilation openings in the middle of the front bezel and the tooth-style decoration on both sides further enhance the visual impact.

It is worth noting that the wheelbase of this generation of the domestic production BMW X1 has reached 2802 mm, which is 22 mm longer than the previous generation domestic BMW X1, and the rear clearance will be further improved. In addition, its length, width and height are 4616 mm, 1845 mm and 1641 mm, respectively.
The new car will continue to offer two body styles to choose from. In the sports kit version, changes will be made to the front bezel, side decorations, rear frame and other parts. The new car will be offered with a choice of up to 7 wheels.
Interior-wise, the new generation X1 is equipped with a 10.25-inch full LCD instrument cluster and a 10.7-inch central control multimedia display. Below the center console is a large wireless cell phone charging panel and two cup holders, while the functional control area and center armrest form a cliff-like design and are equipped with a lever-type electronic shift mechanism. In addition, the new car’s air conditioning outlet design is also relatively unique: the center is monolithic and the co-pilot has a double row type design.

As the power system, it will be equipped with 20Li model (B38A15R 1.5T engine) and 25Li model (B48A20R 2.0T engine) and the maximum net power of the engines will be 115kW and 150kW, respectively.

Python 3.12.0 release candidate 2 now available

Posted on September 7, 2023 by Michael G

I’m pleased to announce the release of Python 3.12 release candidate 2.

https://www.python.org/downloads/release/python-3120rc2/

 

This is the second release candidate of Python 3.12.0

This release, 3.12.0rc2, is the last release preview for Python 3.12.

There will be no ABI changes from this point forward
in the 3.12 series. The intent is for the final release of 3.12.0,
scheduled for Monday, 2023-10-02, to be identical to this release
candidate. This is the last chance to find critical problems in Python 3.12.

Call to action

We strongly encourage maintainers of third-party Python projects to
prepare their projects for 3.12 compatibilities during this phase, and
where necessary publish Python 3.12 wheels on PyPI to be ready for the
final release of 3.12.0. Any binary wheels built against Python
3.12.0rc2 will work with future versions of Python 3.12. As always,
report any issues to the Python bug tracker.

Please keep in mind that this is a preview release and while it’s as close to the final release as we can get it, its use is not recommended for production environments.

Core developers: time to work on documentation now

  • Are all your changes properly documented?
  • Are they mentioned in What’s New?
  • Did you notice other changes you know of to have insufficient documentation?

 

Major new features of the 3.12 series, compared to 3.11

 

New features

  • More flexible f-string parsing, allowing many things previously disallowed (PEP 701).
  • Support for the buffer protocol in Python code (PEP 688).
  • A new debugging/profiling API (PEP 669).
  • Support for isolated subinterpreters with separate Global Interpreter Locks (PEP 684).
  • Even more improved error messages. More exceptions potentially caused by typos now make suggestions to the user.
  • Support for the Linux perf profiler to report Python function names in traces.
  • Many large and small performance improvements (like PEP 709), delivering an estimated 5% overall performance improvementcitation needed.

Type annotations

  • New type annotation syntax for generic classes (PEP 695).
  • New override decorator for methods (PEP 698).

Deprecations

  • The deprecated wstr and wstr_length members of the C implementation of unicode objects were removed, per PEP 623.
  • In the unittest module, a number of long deprecated methods and classes were removed. (They had been deprecated since Python 3.1 or 3.2).
  • The deprecated smtpd and distutils modules have been removed (see PEP 594 and PEP 632. The setuptools package continues to provide the distutils module.
  • A number of other old, broken and deprecated functions, classes and methods have been removed.
  • Invalid backslash escape sequences in strings now warn with SyntaxWarning instead of DeprecationWarning, making them more visible. (They will become syntax errors in the future.)
  • The internal representation of integers has changed in preparation
    for performance enhancements. (This should not affect most users as it
    is an internal detail, but it may cause problems for Cython-generated
    code.)

(Hey, fellow core developer, if a feature you find important is missing from this list, let Thomas know.)

For more details on the changes to Python 3.12, see What’s new in Python 3.12. The next scheduled release of Python 3.12 will be 3.12.0, the final release, currently scheduled for 2023-10-02.
