While previous Pixel devices only allowed you to move over your existing data during the initial setup process, Google’s new Pixel 9 series has no such restrictions. Android Authority spotted a new “Back up or copy data” option in the device settings, with a “copy data” page that lets users “bring data from another device” at any time.
The company updated its existing “Moz://a” logo on a recent blog post, and German blogger Sören Hentzschel has spotted a new symbol in some Github code commits that may be used alongside it.
It could represent a flag, but it also looks like a dinosaur thanks to that eye-like dot — which might be a cryptic nod to the Mozilla Foundation’s old mascot.
The program, which paid security researchers up to $20,000 to locate vulnerabilities in popular Android apps, is being shuttered after seven years due to “a decrease in the number of actionable vulnerabilities reported.”
Google last announced in 2019 that it had paid $265,000 in bounties via the program — a fraction of the $10 million it paid out across all vulnerability programs last year.
As reported by Bleeping Computer, Google is testing a new experimental flag that can hide sensitive content while “screen sharing, screen recording and similar actions” in regular tabs — redacting the user’s entire screen if things like credit card details or passwords are detected.
There’s no mention of a release date, but it should be available for testing in Chrome Canary in the coming weeks.
