If you are the type of person who has 50 tabs open and can’t remember why you opened half of them, Firefox might have just solved your problem. Mozilla is quietly testing a new “Add Note” feature in the latest experimental version of the browser (Firefox Nightly). It’s super simple: you just right-click on any tab, hit “Add Note,” and type a quick reminder to yourself. A little notepad icon then sits next to the tab title so you know there’s something there. This isn’t an extension you have to install; it’s built right into the browser. It seems to…

Although the chance of a TikTok shutdown has a minority of marketers worried about their time and cash investments there, it’s still a key vehicle for organic social, particularly for brands pursuing trend-setting Gen Z audiences. That status is an important asset to the platform, given brands which devote more time to their organic activities on a platform will likely increase their paid ad budgets there in kind (if not in perfect tandem). As more marketers explore what other platforms – such as Reddit, Pinterest and YouTube – can do for them, TikTok’s been working to bolster its behind-the-scenes brand toolbox…

Estée Lauder is leaning on AI, digital expansion and product innovation to turn around three years of sales declines. On Tuesday, the company reported fiscal 2025 revenue of $14.3 billion, down 8% year over year, and confirmed it has brought on advisors for a strategic portfolio review — signaling possible brand exits as it works to streamline and recover. “Beauty Reimagined,” the transformation plan launched in May 2024 under CEO Stéphane de La Faverie, is beginning to show early momentum. “We are energized as we transform our company,” he said on the earnings call. “Together with all of our employees,…

ChatGPT has become a household name for writing emails, essays, and code – but its abilities go far beyond the obvious.  With the latest updates, ChatGPT can now see images, browse the web, use specialized tools, and even act as an “AI agent” that carries out tasks for you.  These skills unlock a smorgasbord of powerful new tools to help you manage everyday life. As someone who’s been experimenting with ChatGPT in my everyday routine, I’ve stumbled upon several unexpected – and incredibly useful – things it can do. Here are some of the most intriguing ones, including a few…

In a series of short videos, Samsung has teased upgrades to the camera system on the upcoming Galaxy S26 series. Expected to debut at the Galaxy Unpacked event on February 25, 2026, the lineup should consist of the usual models. These include the vanilla Galaxy S26, the Galaxy S26 Plus with a triple-rear camera system, and the Galaxy S26 Ultra with a quad-camera setup on the back. What’s even more interesting (read disappointing) is that the handsets are expected to ship with no major camera hardware upgrades. Despite that, the company is teasing better low-light video performance and improved clarity…

As if anyone needed yet another sign that the creator economy has become a core part of any marketing strategy, meal kit delivery brand Blue Apron has taken its influencer marketing in-house. The move is to move influencer marketing in-house to curb costs, improve go-to-market campaign speed and build closer relationships with more than 100 creators. It’s part of Blue Apron’s larger brand refresh announced earlier this month, which includes plans to “own the feed” on social media with influencer content, user-generated content, organic and paid social to help the meal kit company boost brand awareness, said Raina Enand, head of…

Android 16 QPR3 Beta 2 tweaks a Pixel setting that can quietly reduce one of the most annoying mobile problems, Wi-Fi that looks connected but isn’t actually usable. Instead of a single Adaptive Connectivity on or off switch, this Android 16 test build breaks the feature into two controls, and both start enabled. On the QPR2 stable release, Adaptive Connectivity lives under Settings, Network and internet, and it’s mostly a leap of faith. Turn it on and Google says Android will manage your connections to improve performance and extend battery life. In QPR3 Beta 2, the page gets more descriptive…

The creator economy is a minefield — from varying fees to trying to prove value to the C-suite — which is why marketers need to know how to operate professionally, in the same way they do for every other part of marketing.In this edition of our Confessions series, where we trade anonymity for candor, the CEO of a U.S. influencer agency talks through three instances in the past month in which brands have wrongly (and in two cases knowingly) used creator content without proper usage rights, or paid that creator appropriately. This conversation has been edited and condensed for clarity. You…

Even though Samsung is gearing up to unveil the Galaxy S26 series and the Galaxy Buds 4 toward the end of February, the rumor mill seems to have moved on to other products, including upcoming tablets and Galaxy Watches. Per a new Smartprix report (citing GSMA IMEI listings), Samsung is working on two new Galaxy S series tablets: the Galaxy Tab S12 Plus 5G (SM-X846B) and the Galaxy Tab S12 Ultra 5G (SM-X946B). For now, there’s no information on the vanilla Tab S12. Samsung’s rumor mill moves beyond the Galaxy S26 While an “Ultra” model is no surprise, the “Plus”…
