Google Apps For Business Admins Can Now Manage Chrome Settings And Enable Legacy Browser Support For Older Web Apps
Google today added a new feature to Google Apps for Business that could make its Chrome browser significantly more palatable for businesses. The company’s new cloud-based management tool for Google Apps for Business and Education customers now gives IT administrators the ability to customize more than 100 Chrome policies and preferences for their users right from the standard Google Admin panel or through Windows Group Policies for managed devices.
In addition, Google launched a new Chrome extension today that allows businesses to automatically switch to a legacy browser for sites that still need to run in an older browser. IT managers can define these sites. While Chrome Frame allows users to use the Chrome rendering engine in an older browser, Google notes, “Legacy Browser Support lets IT admins of organizations embrace the modern web.”
The new cloud-based management system for Chrome for Business is now automatically enabled for all Google Apps for Business and Education users, and the policies will be automatically enforced for Chrome users who sign in to Chrome with their business accounts on Windows, Mac and Linux.
These policies allow IT to decide which web applications, extensions, startup URLs and themes are automatically set up for the company’s users, no matter where they use Chrome. Besides these basic settings, however, IT managers can also dive a bit deeper and decide whether they want users to be able to see WebGL content, share their location, turn on Safe Browsing mode, turn on Incognito Mode or even if their users can see images. Admins can also use the tool to manage a URL blacklist.
“The web and browser have come a long way in the last 20 years,” Google says in today’s announcement. “As Chrome continues to push the boundary of what’s possible on the modern web, these innovations should be available for everyone, everywhere — especially at work.”

Tumblr updates iOS app with new camera, ability to create photosets, double-tap posts to like, and more
Tumblr on Monday announced the release of an updated version of its iOS app with a slew of new features. You can download the update now directly from the Apple App Store (12.4MB).
Here’s how the new app looks:
As you can see, visually speaking it’s not much different. Under the hood, there aren’t any major changes either: this is strictly a new feature release.
Given the popularity of photos on the social network, we’re not surprised three of the five features added in this release are image-related. Tumblr for iOS has received a new camera, it now also lets you create photosets without leaving the app, and you can change your avatar in your profile by just tapping it.
Speaking of tapping, if you want to like a post, you can now do so by just tapping it twice. This tweak is a minor change but probably the one Tumblr users with Apple devices will end up using the most.
Last but definitely not least, Tumblr for iOS now handles linked posts slightly differently. Whether you copy or enter a URL, the app will fetch its title for you. Quite convenient.
Here’s the full Tumblr 3.3 for iOS changelog, unnecessary exclamation marks and all:
- Brand new camera!
- Create photosets straight from the app.
- Double-tap posts to like!
- Tap the avatar in your profile to change it.
- Link posts: Copy or enter a URL and we’ll fetch the title!

Picasa Web Albums Are Almost Dead, Now Redirecting Photo Owners To Google+, Too
We’ve known for some time that Google would be transitioning users away from its Picasa photo-sharing service to Google+ Photos, but now that process is nearly complete. Google has begun to redirect users from the old Picasa URL (picasweb.google.com) to Google+ Photos, which currently still offers a way to return to the old Picasa Web Albums interface during this transitional period.
The Google Operating System blog (an unofficial Google watching blog) noticed this redirect today, as well, noting that you can use the URL https://picasaweb.google.com/lh/myphotos?noredirect=1 to go directly to Picasa Web Albums without experiencing the redirect first and having to click back.
As not everyone will be ready to make the move just yet, the service will remember your preferences before the final switch is completed. So for example, if you head to Picasa Web Albums and are redirected, but choose to click the link back to Picasa, Google will set a session cookie to remember your choice and take you directly to Picasa the next time.
A redirect has been in place for photo viewers for quite some time, although you might not have heard about it since there has been no official announcement. That means if you were a Google+ user who clicked a link to a Picasa Web Album, you were already redirected to Google+ in the past.
What’s new is that redirect for photo owners, however. That means if you’re a Google+ user who is visiting the Picasa Web Album URL, you’re now being redirected to Google+ Photos. This has been live for about a week. It’s another step forward on the slow and careful transition process that Google is taking with what will be Picasa’s eventual shuttering.
The good news is that if you’re ready to make the switch, you won’t have to move your photos – they’ll all be transitioned for you to Google+. Since last year, Google has been synchronizing the uploading and storage activity for new photos between the two services, it should be noted. And it has now also transitioned over your old photos from Picasa Web Albums to Google+ Photos, as well. That’s a big step forward towards finally shutting down Picasa for good, which is clearly the direction Google is headed.
The company ended support for its Picasa Web Albums Uploader for Mac and its iPhoto plugin in spring 2012, and Linux support has ended as well. Desktop software programs still work if you already have them installed, however, and the Picasa homepage still points you to software downloads.
Google+ Photos Chrome App Nears Debut
Google is working on a full transition of Picasa’s service to Google+, which also includes a new photo organizer Chrome app called the Google+ Photos App. During its recent Chromebook Pixel news conference, the company announced the app would arrive “in the coming weeks.”
In late February, developer Francois Beaufort, who digs around in Google code for unreleased apps and upcoming features, figured out how to access the Google+ Photos app in advance of its debut. The images he posted show the automatic import process, first launch screens, and the app’s main screen, among other things. (Some photos he posted came from Saša Stefanović).
