Systems and methods for presenting information in a header region of an application are provided. In some aspects, a URL is received in an omnibox of an application window of a computer. A page corresponding to the URL is presented in a page display region of the application window. The URL is presented in the omnibox. A collapsed form of the URL and connection information associated with the page are presented in a button of the application window adjacent to the omnibox. The collapsed form of the URL includes a representation of a top-level domain and a hierarchy of the URL. The collapsed form of the URL includes different text from the URL.

User interface for an application displaying page permissions

A machine-implemented method for processing touch elements of an application of a device is provided. The method includes receiving application data associated with the application, the application data providing for the touch elements, each of the touch elements comprising an activation area configured to receive a user input and to trigger at least one function of the application upon receiving the user input. The method further includes determining, from the application data, that plural ones of the touch elements are for display in a group in the application; and classifying, in response to the determining, each of the touch elements of the group into two or more categories based on the application function of the touch element. The method further includes defining a size of the activation area for at least one of the touch elements based on the classification.

Touch interpretation for displayed elements

Computer-implemented methods for adjusting a display of multiple web page windows in a web browser are provided. In one aspect, a method includes receiving selections of visible portions of first and second web page windows oriented in an overlaid configuration with first and second touch inputs, and receiving a dragging motion of the touch inputs to alter the visible portion of at least one of the windows. When the dragging motion includes dragging the touch inputs away from one another, the visible portion of the first web page window is increased and the visible portion of the second web page window is decreased, and when the dragging motion includes dragging the touch inputs towards one another, the visible portion of the first web page window is decreased and the visible portion of the second web page window is increased. Systems, graphical user interfaces, and machine-readable media are also provided.

Graphical user interface window spacing mechanisms

Techniques for expeditiously providing a resolution for an application feedback submission are provided. An example method includes displaying a feedback interface configured to receive a feedback report relating to a software application issue, providing the received feedback report for resolution, the resolution based on classification of one or more issue topics identified in the feedback report, and receiving the resolution as instructions to display an action button, the action button when selected by a user causing execution of an operation resolving the software application issue.

Method for feedback submission resolution

A web browser detects a network privacy threat associated with communications for retrieving a resource from a remote system before the resource is retrieved from the remote system. In connection with detecting the network privacy threat, the web browser automatically retrieves personal information associated with a user of the computing device, generates a privacy threat warning comprising a representation of the retrieved personal information, a representation of the remote system, and a representation of a third-party threat positioned in-between the representation of the personal information and the representation of the remote system, and provides the privacy threat warning for display at the computing device before retrieving the resource from the remote system.

Personalized privacy warnings

A method for tagging images in a social network is provided. The method may include enabling a capture of an image associated with an online group discussion. The method may further include allowing an automatic tagging of the image associated with the online group discussion, the image including a visual representation of a first participant of the online group discussion. The method may also include providing the first participant with an option to indicate whether to approve distribution of the tagged image. The method may also include receiving an indication from the first participant whether to approve the distribution of the tagged image. When the indication from the first participant whether to approve the distribution of the tagged image indicates approval of the distribution, the method may further include distributing the tagged image, based at least in part on the indication of approval of distribution of the tagged image.

Methods for displaying a placeholder for unloaded content while the unloaded content reloads are provided. In one aspect, a method includes receiving a request to display unloaded content, and providing, for display, a representation of the unloaded content while the unloaded content is loaded. The method also includes providing, for display, the loaded content. Systems and machine-readable media are also provided.

Unload and display content placeholders with versions

User interface for webpage permission requests

Methods for switching between opened web pages in a web browser using a dragging motion across a touchscreen device are provided. In one aspect, a method includes receiving an input of a touch gesture comprising a dragging motion beginning near a first lateral edge of a touchscreen interface towards a second lateral edge of the touchscreen interface, and controlling the switching of a currently displayed open web page in the web browser to another one of a plurality of opened web pages in the web browser based on the touch gesture. The selection of which open web page to switch to is determined based on the distance of the dragging motion of the touch gesture. Systems, graphical user interfaces, and machine-readable media are also provided.

Mechanism for switching between document viewing windows

A data processing device may receive, from an application running on the data processing device, an indication that one or more sensors may be associated with a user input for the application. Based on sensing information collected from the one or more sensors, a characteristic of the user input may be determined by the data processing device. The data processing device may refrain from entering a sleep mode if the characteristic of the user input matches a specific characteristic condition specified by the application. The data processing device may allow entering the sleep mode if the characteristic of the user input does not match the specific characteristic condition for a specific timeout period specified by the application. The data processing device may receive the indication, information on the specific characteristic condition and/or information on the specific timeout period via invoking, by the application, one or more application programming interfaces (APIs).

Maintaining or refraining from entering a sleep mode based on received conditions by application specific sensors

Methods and systems for accelerated scrolling and zooming of content. A method may include receiving an indication of a scroll action. The scroll action indicates a direction to scroll and a user's intent to scroll a significant distance. The method further includes evaluating the direction and a length of the scroll action. The method still further includes providing a scroll widget, for example by an operating to an application. The widget is to be presented relative to a location of where the indication was received. The scroll widget then allows a user to jump to a top or an end of a content displayed at the location.

Jump to top/jump to bottom scroll widgets

A system provides a graphical user interface element in a browser. The browser provides multiple different identities for the browser, each of the multiple different identities associated with a different user, each of the multiple different identities being associated with a plurality of accounts. Upon receiving a selection of the graphical user interface element from a first user, the system matches the first user with a first identity that is stored by the browser and associated with the first user. Upon receiving a second selection of the graphical user interface element from a second user, the system matches the second user with a second identity that is stored by the browser and associated with the second user.
