Google Chrome for Android adds support for full screen feature to web apps

Google’s Chrome for android mobiles is widely used web browser and it is getting a feature update in version 58. It will soon be available from the Google Play Store, and the update comes with some new additions as well.

The update allows the bottom Android navigation bar and the top status bar to disappear when the browser runs a Progressive Web App. This means users will get a full screen experience, which is especially helpful if the web app happens to be a game.



Along with full screen, there are other new features that include changes in its Settings section. “Autofill” option is rename to “Autofill and payments”, and this section allows to separate the saved addresses and credit cards in separate sections.

The browser’s History feature is now shown as its own section, instead of showing up as a URL link. If you want to clear your browser history, that should also be easier with Chrome 58, as that feature has been moved up to near the top of the History section, instead of at the bottom.


State Bank Of India will deduct fine for not maintaining Minimum balance from April 1 2017

State Bank of India or SBI has introduced minimum balance requirement in savings accounts from April 1. The minimum balance requirement for SBI customers varies depending on geographies such as metro, urban, semi-urban and rural. If the minimum balance drops below a particular threshold, SBI will charge a fee from the account holder. SBI says the minimum balance in your savings bank account is the monthly average balance - the average of daily balances in the account during the month. SBI requires its savings bank account customers in metros to maintain a monthly average balance of Rs. 5,000.

Holders of SBI's savings bank account in urban areas need to maintain a monthly average balance (MAB) of Rs. 3,000, Rs. 2,000 in case of those in semi-urban areas and Rs. 1,000 in rural areas. This was said on Thursday by SBI - which recently merged its operations with six other banks - on Twitter.
