Pixel 9 no 17 beta update
I have opted for beta and I'm in the May update. I'm not getting beta 17.
I built a Chrome extension for my parents — now sharing it here
Been lurking here for a while and finally shipped something worth posting about.
My parents kept complaining about websites — text too small, backgrounds too bright, ads everywhere, hard to tell what's a link and what isn't. I kept walking them through browser zoom and system settings but it never stuck. So I built something they could actually use.
BrowseEasy is a Chrome extension that lets you adjust any website's readability on the fly. Click the icon, toggle what you need, done.
What it does:
- Font size control
- High contrast mode
- Link highlighting
- Dyslexia-friendly font
- Larger cursor
- Night mode — reduces eye strain on bright sites
- Senior mode — bumps up text size and spacing across the board
- Hide ads — removes ad clutter so you can actually read the page
Settings are saved per-site using local storage. No account. No data sent anywhere. Everything stays on your machine.
Turned out a few of my colleagues started using it too, so I cleaned it up and put it on the store.

Colorful and powerful with better options than normal curl. Handy for people who don't want to use Postman all the time.

I've been working on this for a while and finally got it published. It's a curl alternative with stunning box-style output that makes API testing actually enjoyable.
Why zcurl?
As developers, we spend hours testing APIs. The standard curl output is... not pretty. I wanted something that makes you actually want to look at your API responses.
Just add a "Z" to curl and see magic !
Features:
- Box borders - Clean, proper-closing rectangles for every section
- JSON highlighting - Syntax colored output that actually pops
- Timing breakdown - See DNS, TCP, TLS, TTFB individually
- History & Replay - Save requests and replay them anytime
- Load testing - Built-in concurrent request support
Install:
npm install -g u/12britz/zcurl

I created Markdown Toolset, a Chrome extension that does everything locally. No servers, no accounts, no cloud — your data never leaves your device.
Key features:
- Offline Markdown viewer/editor with live preview in split-pane view
- Folder browsing — open entire folders (including subfolders) and browse all .md files in the sidebar
- Export to multiple formats: PDF, HTML (standalone with GitHub-style CSS), and DOCX (fully formatted Word doc)
- Bulk export — export an entire folder as a ZIP archive of HTML or DOCX files
- Auto-save to localStorage so you never lose work
- Dark/light theme toggle
- Zero network requests — enforced by strict CSP, no analytics or telemetry
It's essentially a full-featured Markdown workbench that runs entirely in your browser. Great for anyone who wants privacy and doesn't want to upload their docs to the cloud.
