I'm annoyed at myself today. Very annoyed. No, I didn't fail – but I needed one of the NYT's in-game hints when really I could and should have solved it without. The theme clue was really obvious, and as soon as I saw 'Not stirred' I thought 'shaken'! But for some reason it didn't occur to me that the answer might be quite so simple as that, so I didn't even look for the word SHAKEN, which was the spangram. If I had, I wouldn't have needed the hint to set me on my way, because all of the answers were pretty easy. Silly silly silly.

How many different vowels are in Quordle today?

• The number of different vowels in Quordle today is 3*.

* Note that by vowel we mean the five standard vowels (A, E, I, O, U), not Y (which is sometimes counted as a vowel too).

The answers to today's Quordle, game #919, are…

• NOSEY
• SHEIK
• PHONE
• SKIER

There are days when my start words just work wonderfully well. Today's Quordle is potentially quite tricky, thanks to the presence of the K in SKIER and SHEIK, and the fact that SHEIK in particular is not a word that may jump readily to mind. But in my case I already had S-I-- with yellow E and R for the bottom right, and that left SKIER as the only valid option. With that in place, I had the K for SHEIK too, and the rest was a formality.

Chrome could revolutionize search on PC with a big Google Lens upgrade that lets you Circle to Search images

Google Chrome on the desktop is going to get the equivalent of the popular Circle to Search feature on mobiles, and the ability, powered by Google Lens, should arrive in the browser soon.

As 9 to 5 Google reports, on a Chromebook, the feature will be activated by clicking on a Google Lens icon in the URL bar of the Chrome browser, but it’ll be a bit more hidden on Windows 11 or macOS. Outside of ChromeOS, you’ll need to head into the Chrome menu and select ‘Search with Google Lens.’

Whichever route you take, once you fire up the feature, you can highlight something on a web page that you want to search for (using a resizable box), whether that’s an element of a picture or video.

The image search results will then swiftly be presented to you in a sidebar in the same tab as the web page.

Analysis: A very welcome polish for Chrome

This is a relatively small change in some respects – the addition of just a small icon, or a menu option in Windows/Mac – but it’s one that could have a major impact on how you search using Google Chrome.

Whatever you’re looking at in your desktop browser, if you’re curious about something you spot in, say, the background of a video – “what’s that car?” for example – you can simply pause the clip, fire up Search with Google Lens, swiftly highlight said car, and boom, you’re (hopefully) fully informed about the vehicle. (And you can use the search box in the side panel to further explore details on it, if you wish).

This is a really smart change in our books, but it’s not here just yet. As 9 to 5 Google observes, after being hidden in development for some time, the feature is now live in the recent Chrome 128 beta (and ChromeOS beta too). With the functionality also written up in the ‘what’s new’ in Chrome page, the expectation is that this Google Lens search option is set to debut shortly.

The answers to today's Quordle, game #918, are…

• TAWNY

This is a fairly standard Quordle, in that it's moderately difficult. That's the default, right? Fairly hard is the norm, easy the exception. There's an X here, immediately complicating things, plus a repeated O in SHOOK. TAWNY is a relatively uncommon word, SALVE maybe so too. I got there, but it was always a struggle.

Ooh, this is a potentially nasty Quordle puzzle. Three of the answers contain a repeated letter, the other one an uncommon Q. I needed all nine guesses to complete it, and my streak was undoubtedly at risk going into guess 8. In fact, I got lucky with that one when I guessed BLAME rather foolishly; if the answer had been GLAZE or FLAKE I'd have faced a 50/50 on the final guess. As it happened, the L stayed yellow, which meant it had to be LEAVE. Phew!

I'd have been a bit annoyed at myself if I'd have got this one wrong – after all, I've worked at several newspapers during my career. The hardest thing today, as it often is, was working out what the theme was, but once that was in place it was a piece of cake.

I found the spangram first, after giving a little thought to what the theme of 'daily delivery' could make. I looked for the likes of LETTERS and PARCELS, then MILK, then spotted NEWS and thought aha! NEWSPAPER was easy after that, and then the likes of JOURNAL and HERALD fell into place with a minimum of fuss.

The answers to today's Quordle, game #915, are…

• LEAFY
• MOUTH
• GLAZE
• RINSE

Whatever your Quordle strategy, you'll probably need to use outright guesses at some point in the game, and it helps to be lucky when you do so. That was my experience today; my three start words give me a good opening, but I got lucky with MOUTH in the top right (the answer could also have been TOUGH) and then similarly with LEAFY in the top left (it could also have been LEAKY).

Get those answers wrong and I might well have struggled to solve today's game, given that the final one I attempted was GLAZE – and I used up a guess there on BLAZE. Still, you've got to ride your luck, eh?

Here's a nice timely Strands puzzle, given the Paris 2024 Olympics officially begins today. It's an easy one, too, with the theme clue of 'Go for the gold' pointing rather obviously towards OLYMPICS as the spangram and the likes of ARCHERY and SWIMMING as answers. And yes, GOLF is in there too; that's an Olympic sport this year.

Interestingly, TRACK technically shouldn't be included, because it's called 'athletics' elsewhere in the world, including in the official Olympics listings, but we'll let this one slide…

OpenAI officially takes on Google with SearchGPT – but not everybody gets access for now

After months of speculation, OpenAI's search engine, SearchGPT, is here but only as a prototype and in limited testing. Even so, it's a watershed moment for the generative AI company and may represent the first substantial challenge to Google's Search engine dominance.

OpenAI announced that it's testing SearchGPT in a blog post on Thursday. It calls it a "temporary prototype" and only posts a waiting list for access. Even so, we're learning a lot about the kind of results you can expect from SearchGPT.

The main screen will start with an open prompt box pre-filled with the phrase, "What are you looking for?" It will accept natural language queries, which is not unlike Google, but unlike the world's most popular search engine, SearchGPT will accept follow-up queries.

One example is a search for "Best tomatoes to grow in Minnesota" and then a follow-up query, "Which of these can I plant now?" OpenAI implies that the context will be maintained through additional queries, a feat not currently possible with Google or Microsoft's Bing search engine.

OpenAI's development of a search engine is notable, considering that the initial version of its Large Language Model (LLM)-based ChatGPT did not have access to the web for real-time information. Its data training stopped somewhere in 2021. 

SearchGPT will, by contrast, according to OpenAI, "combine the strength of our AI models with information from the web to give you fast and timely answers with clear and relevant sources."

OpenAI does make it clear that SearchGPT will cite its sources and include direct links to them, something that it's not always clear that Google's new Gemini AI-based search results are doing. There is a sense that OpenAI is trying to play the role of a good search engine citizen by promising to help users "discover publishers' sites and experiences." Considering how many publishers and content creators are currently suing OpenAI for allegedly scrapping their data to train its models, it's a notable stance.

The AI company is already lining up publisher partners like The Atlantic.

"AI search is going to become one of the key ways that people navigate the internet, and it's crucial, in these early days, that the technology is built in a way that values, respects, and protects journalism and publishers. We look forward to partnering with OpenAI in the process, and creating a new way for readers to discover The Atlantic," said The Atlantic CEO Nicholas Thompson in the SearchGPT blog post.

Perhaps as an end run around current data scrapping litigation, OpenAI points out that "SearchGPT is about search and is separate from training OpenAI’s generative AI foundation models," and adds publisher results will be included even if they do not agree to OpenAI's generative training.

SearchGPT is also promising more visual search results that appear to look little like the ones you might expect from Google or Bing.

SearchGPT will be a standalone AI search engine, but OpenAI plans to eventually integrate it into ChatGPT, which may make that platform far more powerful and useful.

The arrival of SearchGPT comes just weeks after Google integrated Gemini Generative Search results at the top of many search results pages as AIO overviews. It was a move met with some chagrin by those who rely on Google for quick, no-nonsense results and by publishers who worry their results and links are getting pushed further down on the page. Google was likely spurred partly to make the AI move by Bing, which owns first-mover status in the AI search space with generative AI based on OpenAI's ChatGPT. In a way, it feels like AI search has come full circle. The question remains, though, is this what people want from search?

I'm not a jazz guy. I've tried, but it's just never happened for me. And that made today's Strands pretty darn tough.

Seriously, I needed three hints to solve it and even then had to spend a chunk of time trying permutations of letters in order to find the last couple. I have heard of most of these SUBGENRES, as the spangram would have it, but not MODAL or COOL, and I didn't know that BEBOP or RAGTIME were jazz as such.

I'd also take some issues with the spangram, which doesn't seem in any way specific to jazz; there are subgenres in almost all types of music, so why is it the spangram here?

Today's Quordle is a middling kind of game, not too hard, not too easy. It'll challenge you, because they all do, but it's not impossible. Read on if you need some hints though.

SPOILER WARNING: Information about Quordle today is below, so don't read on if you don't want to know the answers.

Quordle today (game #913) - hint #1 - Vowels

How many different vowels are in Quordle today?

• The number of different vowels in Quordle today is 4*.

* Note that by vowel we mean the five standard vowels (A, E, I, O, U), not Y (which is sometimes counted as a vowel too).

Quordle today (game #913) - hint #2 - repeated letters

Do any of today's Quordle answers contain repeated letters?

• The number of Quordle answers containing a repeated letter today is 2.

Quordle today (game #913) - hint #3 - uncommon letters

The answers to today's Quordle, game #913, are…

• BLURB
• PENCE
• PHASE
• SKIMP

Two repeated letters are the only real complications in today's Quordle, but one of those is much more of a pain than the other. The repeated Bs in BLURB are not common at all; in Wordle, which is very likely to have similar probability to Quordle, there are only 13 games out of 2,309 that contain more than one B. E, on the other hand, is the most common letter to be repeated and in fact two Es are far more likely than getting one of several other letters.

Arc browser makes it even more tempting to switch from Chrome with native ad blocker and tracking prevention coming soon

The Arc browser has steadily been gaining attention since its launch in 2022 for Apple devices originally, and now, it’s about to get some neat new capabilities, including its own native ad blocker and tracking prevention.

Arc is Chromium-based and only recently came to Windows 11 (after debuting on Macs and iOS), and the developer, The Browser Company, is trying to win over users of the most popular and best web browsers (the likes of Google Chrome and Microsoft Edge) by offering a competitive and hopefully better browsing experience.

An experience that’ll be further improved by the arrival of the mentioned features, which were revealed as part of a recent email announcing an ‘Early Bird’ program for Arc (as shared by Neowin). This is a community of testers who’ll try out the latest (preview) versions of Arc and provide feedback to help improve any features ahead of their final release. Essentially, it’s similar to Microsoft’s own Insider Programs for the likes of Edge (and Windows, of course). 

In this email, the Arc developer proclaimed that it wants to build a ‘cleaner internet’ with fewer popups, ads, and banners to make it easier to focus on what you’re actually doing in the browser. The Browser Company mentions Chrome’s transition to Manifest V3 as the motivation for this update, and that the ad blocker feature is still in development, but clarifies that it’s coming soon. 

Manifest V3 is a major update to Chrome’s extension platform that will change how browser extensions interact with web pages. In particular, it will restrict the capabilities of certain extensions, including their ability to block ads and modify the contents of a page.

As Arc is built on Google’s Chromium engine, Manifest V3 will affect the browser, and this is why Arc’s developer mentions keeping the browser “clear of the clutter” with its own integrated ad blocker that won’t be affected by Manifest V3.

Want to get in early with new Arc features?

The new ad blocking and tracking prevention features are not available yet, but if you’re keen to try them as soon as they land, you can sign up for Arc’s Early Bird program. Because these features will still be in testing when they arrive, their implementation might change ahead of their debut to the general public in the finished version of Arc.

If you’d like to enrol in the Early Bird program click on this link, then click ‘Join our next cohort’ and you’ll be prompted to provide some details, such as your Arc account info and the level of your technical knowledge. Otherwise, you can wait for these exciting new features to arrive when they’re deemed ready for general release.

We’ve tried Arc for ourselves and we’ve been impressed by what we’ve seen so far. It offers plenty of built-in apps and features, aiming to be like a sort of operating system for web browsing, as it were. The developer puts the emphasis on trying to create a clean, calm interface, and it shows in Arc’s thoughtful design. If your curiosity is piqued and you want to try an alternative to mainstream browsers, you can check out Arc for yourself.

I can't decide if this is a really easy one and I was just not quite on my game, or if it's moderately difficult; I've gone with the latter above, because the theme clue was vague enough that I needed that one hint to get going.

That gave me CANDY, and other than a brief flirtation with the idea that it might be actors – not helped by the fact that the word ACTOR could be made in the grid – I was able toi find the rest fairly quickly. POPCORN was the key; once I had that it was blindingly obvious what the theme was, and I uncovered the remaining solutions swiftly after.

Google u-turns on Privacy Sandbox endeavor, deciding that cookies won't be replaced after all - here's what that means for you

Several years ago, Google boldly set out to replace third-party cookies in its Chrome browser (the browser that enjoys the largest user base by far), intending to offer up the Privacy Sandbox as its replacement. Now, Google has announced an update on the Privacy Sandbox that it will now be an optional measure instead of replacing third-party cookies altogether, in a pretty significant U-turn to its earlier strategy. 

According to Google, the Privacy Sandbox is an effort to enhance users’ privacy while balancing the concerns of publishers and advertisers. Google’s hope was that it would win over all directly concerned parties, seemingly instituting a new privacy standard, and doing away with its reliance on third-party cookies. Especially considering the fact that, as of the writing of this article, Google Chrome holds nearly two-thirds of the browser market share (according to StatCounter), it was aiming to significantly reshape a key part of how advertising works online. 

Many outlets are reporting this as a dramatic reversal that could indicate that Google has lost confidence in its strategy, but as Google itself admits (to some degree), this move was largely the result of possible pressure from regulators, publishers, “participants in the advertising industry” (which, let's be honest, means paying advertisers), and other stakeholders.  

(Image credit: Shutterstock/Camilo Concha)

The new optional status of the Privacy Sandbox

So, as things now stand, the Privacy Sandbox and third-party cookies will both be options that will coexist for users. Third-party cookies are a big deal when it comes to advertising online as they’re baked into the very mechanisms of the web, tracking the movement and behavior of users as they browse various sites. This enables advertisers to make their advertising more targeted and much more effective. 

Google claims to not sell your cookie data (directly), but it seems to get as close as it can to doing that in a roundabout way. PCWorld points out that its practices such as Google’s with third-party cookies are what has raised much criticism, with websites being filled with hundreds of tracking points to collect data. 

While the data itself might not get sold, companies like Google build collective profiles and identify hyper-specific advertising targets that do then get sold to advertisers. This practice is sometimes spoken about in a very negative light due to it possibly being an overreach and a disrespect to individual user privacy, which has earned companies like Google something of a reputation. 

With third-party cookies, Google creates individual profiles of users, analyses data to do with aspects like demographics and interests, and then enables advertisers to target in that way. It also auctions off ad space that it indicates is lucrative based on its data (as reported in this closer look at Google’s practices from the Electronic Frontier Foundation). To counteract this, Google proposed the Privacy Sandbox to improve users’ privacy online in Chrome and in Android apps.

The Privacy Sandbox proposal was to replace its practices with individual cookies with semi-anonymous, wide blocks of users drawn from various demographic factors. PCWorld points out that current cookie tracking pretty much pinpoints a specific individual and tracks them, whereas Google’s new approach would possibly be milder with larger cumulative cookie blocks. 

Privacy Sandbox - dead in the water or lurking in the deep?

Google is currently preparing to offer users both the option to continue allowing third-party cookies and the option to try the Privacy Sandbox. As of right now, users will also be able to switch from one to the other at any time, and the fact that Google hasn’t totally scrapped it tells me that the search engine giant hasn't been entirely discouraged from its mission. The choice isn’t available to users yet, nor do we know when it will be, and Google has said that the Privacy Sandbox is still being revised with input from regulators, so it’s subject to change. 

We also don’t know how this will look on advertisers’ side and if conventional third-party cookies would be distinguished from Privacy Sandbox information. We’ll have to see if the Privacy Sandbox option is ever added to Chrome, but it looks like it has ways to go in convincing market competition and information regulators, advertisers, their fellow tech company peers, and privacy advocates (among many others) before that’s the case.

If Google wins all (or at least most) of these parties over, third-party cookies might see competition again one day - but until then, they're set to remain the status quo.

Microsoft Edge browser could get a nifty upgrade for Copilot that’ll help you compose text on a topic instantly

‘Draft with Copilot’ is an AI-powered feature introduced to Edge relatively recently, with the web browser being one of the first avenues where Microsoft pushed its Copilot AI assistant, and soon, it could be getting a minor upgrade.

Trusted watcher of all things browser-related, Leopeva64, spotted the new development and highlighted it on X, sharing some screenshots (and animated GIFs) of the new ‘Draft with Copilot’ ability which is part of an Edge Canary preview build.

In Edge Canary there is a new "Draft with Copilot" entry that appears in the context menu of editable text fields when they are empty, if the field already contains text, the new entry doesn't appear:https://ift.tt/KiIwMDa pic.twitter.com/430YAAujAYJuly 19, 2024

As you might guess, the feature enlists the help of the AI to craft some text for you, and the addition here is that it’s now available when you right-click an empty text field in Edge. When you fire up ‘Draft with Copilot’ in such an empty field, it opens a window for the AI assistant, and here you can enter the subject that you’d like Copilot to compose some text about.

You can then click ‘Generate’ and watch Copilot work its magic as the AI whips up a piece of text on the topic you chose. When Copilot has provided its offering, you can subsequently modify the tone and length of Copilot’s text to better fit your purpose, or just play around with possible tweaks.

Right now, the feature is only supported in US English in the Edge browser, but in time, I’d expect this will open up to further languages.

The second GIF that Leopeva64 posted shows an interesting twist to the new update. Seemingly when you right-click on an editable text field with text already in it, the ‘Draft with Copilot’ option is not available. While this could change during testing, presumably it’s this way because there’s already text present, so you wouldn’t want to be drafting something from scratch.

Copilot as a co-author

MS Power User, which spotted this development, points out that the concept is similar to Google Chrome’s ‘Help Me Write’ feature, and I’d agree.

Microsoft has previously written a blog post about Copilot’s creative composition abilities when working with text fields, describing how you can use the AI to “quickly generate well-written text to use as input text in text boxes” and further noting: “Using Copilot saves time because you won’t have to worry about creating text that meets grammar rules. Copilot is especially helpful for users who are using apps that aren’t in their native language.”

One thing to consider carefully is the quality of the text that Copilot produces. Critics of AI-generated text in general complain that it can seem very generic and read in a toneless, bland, way - and that could be a problem if you’re going for something to try and grab the attention of readers.

Still, the particular implementation here is more about knocking up something concise in swift order, right there in the browser, and Copilot is likely to do a more serviceable job in that respect, or what it generates could work as a useful jumping-off point that you can expand on - or it’ll give you some further ideas.

Whatever the case, Copilot is slowly making its way into different corners of more Windows apps, including Edge, that much is clear.
