More easily track document changes with the new activity stream

A new activity stream in Google Drive will keep show a rundown of  what your team has been up to, which documents have been edited. If you select a specific document a detailed stream for that document will appear. When you load Drive, click on "Details and activity" at the top right corner to load the stream. 

Cleaning out hijacked Chrome extensions

Recently there has been a trend of older chrome extensions being acquired and repackaged & bundled with malicious software that tries to hijack your browser settings. If you have been affected by this just find the "Reset Browser Settings" in Chrome's setting page. This button resets all of your browser settings and disables all of your browser extensions. You can then reactivate your extensions one at a time to find the culprit.
