Google Chrome is about to get a big tabs feature
Have you ever wished that Google Chrome would let you move all your browser tabs to the side instead of them all piling up into tiny icons at the top of your screen? If so, we have some potentially big news. After years of rumors and every other major browser slowly adding the feature, it appears that Google Chrome may finally be introducing vertical tabs.
I found 20+ early Black Friday deals on power stations: Shop Jackery, Anker, Bluetti, and more
Scouring the early Black Friday sales this year has been interesting. While some categories are off to a slow, underwhelming start (I’m looking at you, Ninja), the portable power station market is fully going for it.
SEE ALSO: Black Friday 2025: Live updates on the latest deals from Amazon, Target, Walmart, and moreI’m not a doomsday prepper, but I am someone who lives in a storm-prone area where the power goes out if the wind blows the wrong way. So, I track these prices religiously. And right now, we're seeing deals that match, and in some cases actually beat, the record lows we saw during Prime Day. If you’ve been stressed about keeping your devices charged during a winter storm or just want a reliable backup for camping, now's the time to shop.
The discounts are surprisingly good this year, with major brands like Bluetti, Jackery, EF EcoFlow, and Anker offering 40% to 60% off. Even DJI, which is usually pretty stubborn with its pricing, is getting in on the action.
Best early Black Friday Jackery power station deal Jackery Explorer 240D $132 at Amazon$209 Save $77 Get Deal at Amazon Why we like it
I love a heavy-duty home backup system, but I am not trying to haul a 50-pound generator around unless I absolutely have to. For camping trips, beach days, or just keeping my iPad alive during a spotty power outage, I want something I can carry in one hand.
As of Nov. 21, the Jackery Explorer 240D is on sale for $132 at Amazon. That's a 37% discount (or a $77 price cut) off its $209 list price, and it's the best deal we've seen on this specific model. If you want to save even more, Jackery is offering an extra $200 off to customers who subscribe to its newsletter, but that coupon is only valid on orders over $2,000, so it won't apply to this deal specifically.
The 240D uses a LiFePO4 battery, which means it has a 10-year lifespan and can handle 4,000+ charge cycles (the old ones could only do about 500). It packs 256Wh of capacity into a tiny 4.85-pound box, so you can fast-charge your laptop, phone, or drone directly via its 140W USB-C ports.
Just keep in mind: This is a "power bank" style station, meaning it has USB ports but no AC wall outlet. It’s designed for devices, not appliances. But for $132, it’s the perfect "just in case" gadget to keep in your closet.

Read our full review of the Anker Solix C1000 portable power station.
If you need something with a bit more oomph than the Jackery 240D but aren't trying to spend $1,000, this is the sweet spot. The Anker Solix C1000 hits that perfect middle ground for capacity and portability, and right now, it's half off.
As of Nov. 21, the Anker Solix C1000 is on sale for $397 at Amazon. That's a 50% discount (or a $402 price cut) off its $799 list price. It's also the lowest price we've seen on this model since Prime Day (it was $399 in October).
The Solix C1000 is a Mashable Choice Award winner. Mashable's Lauren Allain tested this unit extensively, from powering an outdoor movie night to keeping her essentials running during a power outage, and called it "simply perfect." She specifically praised its "awesome price-to-features ratio" and its incredibly fast recharge time (0 to 100% in under an hour!).
With 1,056Wh of capacity and 1,800W of output, it can handle everything from a CPAP machine (for 18+ hours) to a full-size fridge (for up to 14 hours). And if you decide later that you need even more juice, you can double its capacity with an expansion battery.

If you missed the Anker deal above (or if you just want a little more juice), this is the one to grab. It's a direct competitor that sits in that same "Goldilocks" zone of size and power, but with a few extra perks.
As of Nov. 21, the Bluetti AC180 is on sale for $409 at Amazon. That's 41% off its usual $699 price tag, saving you nearly $300. (It hit this new all-time low yesterday, according to CamelCamelCamel.)
Here's why you might choose this one over the others: It has a slightly larger battery (1,152Wh) and a specialized "Power Lifting" mode. This boosts the output to 2,700W to handle resistive loads, meaning you can run high-wattage essentials like a space heater or electric kettle without tripping the unit. It also charges super fast (0-80% in just 45 minutes) and works as a reliable UPS backup for your computer or CPAP.

DJI is known for its drones, not its discounts, so seeing the DJI Power 1000 drop this low is a genuinely pleasant surprise. If you're a drone pilot or just someone who hates the loud humming noise most power stations make, this is the deal for you.
As of Nov. 21, the DJI Power 1000 is on sale for $449 at Amazon. That's 36% off its $699 list price, and $250 in savings.
It operates at just 23dB, which is quieter than a whisper. You can charge it right next to your bed and not even hear it. For drone owners, it has dedicated SDC ports that can fast-charge select DJI drone batteries from 10% to 95% in just 32 minutes. It also has a 1,024Wh capacity and dual 140W USB-C ports for your non-drone gear.

If you’re looking for a true "off-grid" ready kit, buying a power station on its own is only half the battle. Usually, adding a decent solar panel will set you back another $300 or more. That’s why this bundle deal is so good — it includes the panel for a price that beats many standalone stations.
As of Nov. 21, the EF ECOFLOW Solar Generator Delta 2 Bundle is on sale for $549 at Amazon. This bundle includes the excellent Delta 2 power station (1,024Wh capacity, LiFePO4 battery) plus a 220W Bifacial Portable Solar Panel.
"Bifacial" just means it captures sunlight on both sides (ambient light on the back), which EcoFlow says can increase energy capture by up to 25%. Combined with the Delta 2's fast charging and 1,800W output, this is a turnkey solution for camping or emergency backup.

The best early Black Friday TV deals in 2025: Our favorite 65-inch QLED is under $900
It's officially the best time of year to buy a TV. And you don't even have to wake up at 2 a.m., ready to throw fists in a Walmart or Best Buy. While Black Friday proper — which falls on Nov. 28 in 2025 — will likely produce even more unmatched deals, there's plenty of impressive price drops already worth grabbing early. Whether you're looking to upgrade to a larger screen or swap your LED model for a QLED model, this is the time.
As Mashable's TV expert Leah Stodart noted last year, QLED TVs have officially gone from swanky to accessible. That means it's easier than ever for the average household to make the jump to a QLED 4K TV at a budget-friendly price — particularly during Black Friday and Cyber Monday. And you will certainly notice the difference in quality.
Now that Amazon and Best Buy have officially kicked off their Black Friday sales, we're seeing several 2025 Hisense, TCL, Samsung, and Amazon Fire TV models already down to record-low prices, so feel free to shop ahead of the rush. TVs are one of the biggest purchases this time of year and they do tend to sell out. In other words, if you see a model with the specs you want at a price you like, grab it ASAP. Read on for a rundown of our top picks.
Psst: If you're not sure what to do with your old TV, you can recycle it at most Best Buy stores for free.
Best early Black Friday 50-inch TV deal Opens in a new window Credit: Hisense Hisense 50-inch QD6 QLED 4K TV $199.99 at Best Buy$329.99 Save $130 Get Deal Why we like it
This deal really highlights why we love the Hisense TV brand so much: you can get a QLED 4K TV for under $200. The QD6 model is a well-rounded budget TV that utilizes the Fire TV platform and features built-in Alexa, as well as Dolby Vision HDR and DTS Virtual X audio for better picture quality and crisper sound. It won't wow you quite like a premium QLED would, but you'll still notice a difference from the quantum dots — particularly when watching in the daytime. This 50-inch model is great for smaller living rooms, bedrooms, and apartments and at $199.99, its beating its Prime Day price by nearly $40 at Best Buy. It's currently sold out at Amazon.
Best early Black Friday 65-inch TV deal Opens in a new window Credit: TCL TCL 65-inch QM8K Mini LED QLED 4K TV $899.99 at Best Buy$2,499.99 Save $1,600.00 Get Deal Why we like it
If you're not sure what size TV to get, we consider 65 inches to be the sweet spot for most folks. And our top pick for most people is TCL's QM8K Mini LED QLED 4K TV, thanks to its impressive brightness, stellar picture quality, contrast, shadow detail, and budget-conscious pricing. "While this intensity of brightness makes the QM8K a solid choice for watching TV in daylight, its more-precise-than-usual backlights keep details crisp in a dark room. The new anti-halo effect is an effective fix for some of the blooming its predecessor experienced," Mashable's Leah Stodart notes. It's typically a $2,500 TV, but this Black Friday deal at Best Buy has dropped the cost of the 65-inch model down below $900. Amazon has the same model listed for $2 less, but as it comes from a third-party seller, we're more inclined to go with Best Buy.
Best early Black Friday 75-inch+ TV deal Opens in a new window Credit: TCL TCL 75-inch QM6K Mini LED QLED 4K TV $698 at Walmart$999.99 Save $301.99 Get Deal Why we like it
Walmart's excellent deal on the TCL QM6K TV, which our friends at CNET (also owned by Ziff Davis) dubbed the "best TV under $1,000 in 2025," is currently unmatched at Amazon or Best Buy. It checks all the boxes you want in a new TV: impressive picture quality with vibrant colors, smooth streaming interface (via Google TV), a high refresh rate for gaming (144Hz), and a killer price tag. At $698, this Black Friday deal not only beats its Prime Day price by more than $50, but it marks a new record-low. It's not quite as impressive as its QM8K sibling, but the QM6K is "a stellar mini LED TV for the low-to-mid-tier price range," as our team pointed out in our roundup of the best TVs for 2025.

Its already playtime thanks to these early Black Friday deals on toys and games
There’s never a better time to stock up on toys and games than Black Friday. It’s the event that kicks off the holiday season, which means anyone buying gifts for kids — or for grown ups who are young at heart — is about to spend a bomb on toys. So why not take advantage of Black Friday, the biggest sale event of the whole calendar year? And while the big day itself is still a week away, there are already stacks of early Black Friday deals live at Amazon and other retailers.

Best early Black Friday Lego toy deal Opens in a new window Credit: Lego Lego Creator 3-In-1 Rhino $41.99 at Amazon$59.99 Save $18 Get Deal Why we like it
Lego reigns as the absolute king of all toy brands, with categories and themes for everyone, whether your kids into Star Wars, dinosaurs, or constructing their own cities literally brick-by-brick. But we absolutely love the Creator 3-in-1 series, which offers young builders three awesome models in one box. This set, for instance, can be made into a rhino, a hippo, or a walrus. The upshot is triple the fun, and triple the amount of time your kids will spend occupied by creative, constructive play.

And kids will be going crazy for them all over next year with the release of Toy Story 5. This classic talking 12-inch Woody doll — with more than 30 pull-string sounds and phrases (“There’s a snake in my boot!”) — is also one of the very best toy bargains available in the early Black Friday sale thanks to a massive 54% off the list price.

Hide the figure and Bluey giggles to help guide little ones towards her. Bluey also plays music in dance mode when the kids eventually find her, and she doubles up as a regular doll figure. She’s designed to encourage activity and movement — great after a Bluey binge-watch!

$30k Japanese SUV leads sales against luxury competitors

The 30+ best early Black Friday Apple deals: Stunning best-ever prices on AirPods and MacBooks
Black Friday is easily the best time to buy Apple products, and with just about one week to go until the shopping holiday, the deals are already pretty good. You can thank Amazon for that: It's dropped the price of the entry-level AirPods 4 and M4 MacBook Airs to new all-time lows, and taken $50 off the price of most iPads — even the new M5 iPad Pros.
Other retailers like Best Buy, Walmart, and Target aren't price-matching a ton of Amazon's deals on current-gen Apple devices just yet, but they're picking up the slack when it comes to older models. Best Buy is the only place where some M4 iPad Pros are $100 off, for example, and Walmart has an exclusive discount on last year's Apple Watch Series 10 with cellular connectivity. (It's a whopping 40% off.)
SEE ALSO: Amazon just dropped all the details about its Black Friday saleAs per usual, don't expect the Apple Store itself to offer any crazy-good Black Friday deals. If anything, it'll just run one of its free gift card promos.
We've scoured all of the major players' websites and rounded up the best early Black Friday Apple deals below. We'll continue to update it as we get deeper into the holiday season, so keep checking back.

Amazon's Black Friday sale officially kicked off on Nov. 20, and it brought major savings on AirPods. In fact, the deals are kind of wild. Apple AirPods 4 with ANC are now $109.99, which is actually lower than the non-ANC AirPods 4. That saves you $69.01 off its $179 list price, for 39% off. It's the best deal on AirPods we've spotted right now, but there are markdowns on nearly every pair.

Fast and portable, the 13-inch M4 MacBook Air is our favorite MacBook for students. The base model is only $750 on Amazon as of early November — a new record low — and I seriously doubt it'll get any cheaper on Black Friday proper. That's a bargain.

5 Ryobi tools you can't get from DeWalt

Please stop putting desktop hard drives in your NAS
Are you ready to buy your first NAS? Before you click purchase, there’s one major thing you need to think of first—do you have the right hard drives for a NAS? Not all hard drives are created equal, and you need to make sure your NAS has storage that’s up to the task.
Windows 11 is about to get a lot more confusing
Windows is all-in on Copilot, Microsoft's AI assistant. And for some stuff, it's pretty good. For other things, though, it's just unnecessary fluff that in some cases turns out to be more confusing than useful. This is exactly what's happening to the File Explorer, which is getting a... second Copilot icon?

I use a free, open-source Linux photo manager that actually shines on Windows
If you’ve ever tried to organize a giant photo library on Windows, you know how quickly things get messy. You wind up trying basic viewers, clunky catalog tools, and a handful of apps that either push you toward the cloud or try to lock your photos behind a subscription. At some point, you start wondering if there’s anything out there that can actually handle decades of pictures without feeling slow or limited.

Which Critical Role campaign is funniest? The cast weighs in.
With hundreds of episodes, four main campaigns, and two animated series under their belts — not to mention spin-offs, live shows, and one shots — the cast of Critical Role have created thousands of hours' worth of TTRPG storytelling. But what are their highlights from all these hours? And do their favorite moments match up with yours?
SEE ALSO: 'The Mighty Nein' review: Critical Role hits new highs with their darkest series yetTo find out, and to celebrate the release of their new series, The Mighty Nein, the Critical Role team stopped by Mashable's Say More for a trip down memory lane. In an interview with Mashable Entertainment Reporter Belen Edwards, cast members Laura Bailey, Taliesin Jaffe, Ashley Johnson, Matthew Mercer, Liam O'Brien, Marisha Ray, Sam Riegel, and Travis Willingham assigned superlatives to their campaigns. Which campaign is the funniest? Which had the best fights? And which was the most emotionally traumatizing?
Each question spurred debate, as great fights, ridiculous jokes, and devastating character beats are all part of the Critical Role experience. For funniest campaign, for example, the cast was torn between Campaigns 2 and 3.
As the cast discusses, Campaign 2, which focused on the Mighty Nein, brought the chaos of Jester Lavorre (Bailey), along with the hilariously prickly dynamic between Nott the Brave (Riegel) and Fjord Stone (Willingham). But Campaign 3, which focused on Bells Hells, brought more hilarity in the form of Laudna (Ray), Chetney Pock O'Pea (Willingham), and Fearne Calloway (Johnson).
Willingham put it best when it came to answering the question, asking, "Where were we at our dumbest?"
For more campaign superlatives, including the cast's favorite in-campaign romance and Matthew Mercer sound effect, check out the full Say More interview on YouTube.
The Mighty Nein is now streaming on Prime Video, with new episodes every Wednesday.
Seth Meyers spends 5 minutes unpacking Trumps lengthy Epstein rant on Truth Social
"Look at how long this is! Is there no character limit on Truth Social? I haven't seen something that long and incoherent since my mom accidentally had voice to text on while she had a conversation with our neighbor Linda."
This is Seth Meyers reacting to Trump's extremely long post on Truth Social about Jeffrey Epstein, with the president suggesting he was the driving force for the files to be released and writing that Epstein "was deeply associated with many well-known Democrat figures" (a line of argument Jon Stewart responded to earlier in the week).
"I also like when Trump starts using big words like 'respectively' — that's how you know he's spinning out," says Meyers. "If things get any worse his next post is going to say, 'Heretofore I have toiled many fortnights in quiet obscurity to secure the release of these most precious documents and make known henceforth that I was not friends with, and thus never visited, Jeff and the Island, respectively.'"
