Simply trying to get my old domain back , please help
The owner of a business brand has used the same domain for more than 15 years but someone picked it up. The distraught businessman has even used drop-catchers to get it back but has failed. What are his options, seeing the domain up for sale for a large sum?

The story of acquiring SuperTokens.com

Chrome browser will now detect URL typos and suggest websites based on the corrections
Apparently, the latest version of the Chrome browser takes it upon itself to detect URL "typos" and suggest alternate destinations. Can this feature complicate things for domains that appear to be typos but are brands, and can this feature be disabled? Join the discussion to find out.
