Essential chrome extensions

By

Let's be honest, Chrome has become the new king of the browser jungle. With its Blink engine (a descendant of WebKit) ruling both desktop and mobile landscapes, Chrome's influence is undeniable. Even competitors like Microsoft Edge and Opera have ditched their own engines (EdgeHTML and Presto, respectively) to join the Chromium bandwagon. The only holdout? Mozilla Firefox, bravely fighting the chrome tide.

My experience with Soundmagic Earphones

By
Soundmagic is chinese company which was all the rage back in 2012 when other chinese IEM makers like KZ were yet to be introduced to the western market.
