The Chrome browser is loved by for its simplicity and power. Some users have made many complaints because it’s power consumptive and uses far too much memory that one of its rival. With the new Chrome 45, all that changes and will keep Chrome users happy, as the browser will now be proactive about how it uses your computer’s resources.

As you may know, all idle tabs consume different percent of memory, will now the unused memory clean up via garbage collection takes place on idle tabs, and has become especially powerful for complex Web apps. Google stated that it sees a 10 percent reduction of memory usage on average with the new version, but complex Web apps like Gmail see up to 25 percent reduction in memory used.

The Flash suspension impact

Chrome’s Flash suspension feature, which pauses Flash content on a website that you access, will now become a standard setting. This will help your battery last up to 15 percent longer and even help get back the extra power Chrome uses versus other browsers.

Another new feature will enable you and extra power by autoloading often used tabs when restarting ahead of other.

Additionally, Chrome will now monitor the resources available for it to use. If your computer doesn’t have the resources Chrome needs, background activity on tabs will be paused until you click on them, which is really a neat feature.

It’s all welcome news for Chrome users, and may even have some who’ve edged away from using Chrome give it another try.

European regulators to ban binary options and crackdown on spread betting

Published

on

European regulators revealed plans to outlaw one of the most popular trading products available to the public.

The European Securities and Markets Authority (ESMA) wants to ban the sale of binary options to retail clients.

The prohibition is part of a wider clampdown on the spread betting sector that would also see contracts for differences leverage (CFD) limits – the amount of risk/reward a retail investor can expose themselves to – dramatically reduced.

One year ago, City watchdog the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA), surprised the spread betting sector by unveiling its own plans to protect retail investors. A number of other European regulators followed suit and during this summer the matter was passed onto ESMA, so changes could be imposed Europe-wide.

ESMA said it will conduct “a brief public consultation in January 2018” on its plans. Once put in place, it would be the first time ESMA has used so-called “intervention powers” in financial markets.

The changes may come as a blow to some spread betting firms, which have booked bumper profits during 2017.

Others, of which CMC Markets has been very vocal on several occasions, believe the clampdown will help business by forcing rivals that focus on “lower-value” customers out of business.

William Hill airs concerns over NYX-Scientific Games deal

Published

on

William Hill has said that it is to consider its options regarding Scientific Games’ proposed acquisition of NYX Gaming Group.

 

In September, Scientific Games agreed to acquire NYX for approximately CAD$775m (€525m/US$609.2m), in a deal it said would lead to the creation of a “global digital gaming and lottery powerhouse”.

However, William Hill has now said it will look in detail at the deal in regards to contractual rights it obtained when it enabled NYX to purchase OpenBet.

William Hill said “no decision has been made at this time” and, despite reports, “refutes in the strongest terms that any anti-competitive measure have been requested or is being demanded”.

The company added: “William Hill confirms that it has issued a conversion notice to convert its holding of convertible preference shares and has commenced legal action in order that it may also vote such shares at the special meeting of shareholders.

William Hill does not wish to make any further comment on those proceedings at this time, other to confirm that it will continue to act in the best interests of its shareholders.

William Hill owns and controls 6,800,000 ordinary shares of NYX and £80m of preference shares of NYX Digital Gaming, an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of NYX.

Theses shares are initially convertible into approximately 40,723,339 ordinary shares of NYX, based on an initial conversion price of CAD$3.67 per ordinary share.
