How to Enable Google Now Cards on Chrome

The day since Google Now has come to our Android phone, it had made our life easier and simpler. Google Now is one of the best features of Google which I liked as it not only monitors our activities in our phone but also displays cards based on that and actually which might come helpful to us.
For instance, if you have looked for some movie online (when you have logged into Google with your login) then it will start displaying information regarding this movie like the movie show times, reviews and etc. So if you also liked the Google Now, then you can have it on your Chromebrowser too.

This update was released in March and in case you still can’t see the cards, then here is how to enable the Google Now cards on your Chrome.
1. First of all you need to login and stay signed in Chrome with your same Google login as used in your phone
2. Now you can enable it by two options, either by the small bell icon placed in your system tray (for Windows) or on top in case of Mac, or by changing the value using the Chrome Flags.
a. Using Bell icon: Click on the small bell icon, to open the window as shown. Now click on the gear icon to see the options. Now you need to check the Google Now option to see the cards.

b. Using the Chrome flags option: Type chrome://flags in the URL and press enter. Now search for the Google Now option using the Search feature and from the drop down select the Enabled option. Note: Changing flags about which you don’t have any information, might crash your Chrome.

3. Restart the Chrome browser.
Now when you click on the small bell icon in the system tray, you would be able to see the Google Now Cards on your screen. Moreover since you have logged in with your same Google account, your searches and information will be the same on your phone too.
Let me know how you did like the cards and the post.

How to Disable Candy Crush Saga Notifications in Facebook in 3 Simple Steps

Candy Crush Saga has been so much popular these days that all the game lovers have tried it one or the other time. I am myself, a gamer too but there are times when I don’t feel like gaming and neither being notified about it. It won’t be wrong to say that Candy Crush has been gaining popularity a lot these days.
Candy Crush has one such thing that the players need to invite their friends to play this game in order to gain some lives in this game, which is the reason why we all are getting the repeated notifications from our friends. This notification is so irritating that I feel like blocking my friend lol.
However here is a simple fix to this issue using which you can turn off or disable the Candy Crush (or even any game notification) from appearing and bugging you. This has been tested by me on my profile, and to my surprise it had allowed me to live life in peace for the last few days.
Steps to Disable Candy Crush Notifications:
1. So when you receive any notification from someone about Candy Crush (or may be another game), log into your profile and go to the Notifications tab to see the lists.
P.S.: This step has to be done from computer only.

2. Hover over the Candy Crush notification to see a cross mark on the right side which read asTurn Off.

3. Click on this Cross mark to open the option as shown below. Now just click on the Turn Off button.

That is all you needed to do all this while. Strange that it was so simple to do, yet we didn’t know how to turn off the notifications.
Well as they say, “better late than never”. By clicking this Turn Off button, you just made your life relaxed and peaceful. Candy Crush, well what’s that?
