Adblock is the most popular Chrome extension as of this writing, with more than double the users of its nearest extension. Millions of surfers are at least installing ad blocking applications and, though many sites complain about the practice, it is clearly a trend that is here to stay.

Samsung has made the Galaxy S5 manual available for download on its site, and although it doesn’t seem to tell us anything we don’t know already about the device, it should shed some light on the S5’s main features. As you’ll notice, any mention of the heart rate sensor are oddly absent in this particular manual. The manual contains all the details related to setting up and using the Galaxy S5, but the things we are most interested in are the differentiating features brought by the phone, like the download booster, power saving mode, selective focus in the camera, S Health and the fingerprint scanner....
