If you’re a die-hard soccer fan based here in the U.S., it is probably tough for you to watch all the games considering that, day in and day out (so far), the first two games of the daily action are played at 12 p.m. and 4 p.m. ET. That’s smack dab in the middle of normal business hours! However, with Goal, a nifty sidebar app for Mozilla Firefox, you can keep track of all the World Cup scores and news without having to check out your phone, or switch between browser tabs.

Since Goal is a desktop sidebar app, it will remain visible no matter what you do in Firefox. Once installed, it provides you with live scores for all the day’s games, news briefs, and more. Want to learn more about some breaking World Cup news? Just click on the link in Goal. Want to learn more about an upcoming match? Just click on the score, even if the game isn’t in progress yet. In both instances, clicking on things within Goal will open full news articles for your reading pleasure. The Goal sidebar app is courtesy of Goal.com, a soccer news website.

We looked around at the Google Chrome app store, and the Internet Explorer extensions page to check if Goal was available for either of those browsers. We couldn’t find Goal for either of those browsers.

You can grab the Goal sidebar app here.

Hyte made me fall in love with my gaming PC all over again

A PC built with the Hyte Nexus Link ecosystem.

I've never seen anything quite like Hyte's new Nexus Link ecosystem. Corsair has its iCue Link system, and Lian Li has its magnetic Uni system, and all three companies are now offering ways to tie together your PC cooling and lighting devoid of extraneous cables. But Hyte's marriage of hardware, software, and accessories is in a league of its own -- and it transformed my PC build completely.

I've been using some of the foundational components of the ecosystem for about a week, retailoring a build inside of Hyte's own Y40 PC case to see how the system works. It doesn't seem too exciting at first -- Hyte released an all-in-one (AIO) liquid cooler, some fans, and a few RGB strips, who cares? But as I engaged more with the Nexus Link ecosystem, I only became more impressed.
It all starts with the cooler

How to delete your Spotify account on desktop and mobile

An iPhone with the Stats for Spotify screen on it being held in a hand.

Spotify is home to a bountiful trove of music. With over 615 million users connected to the platform, it’s no wonder it’s one of the biggest music-streaming platforms in town. Still, sometimes we need to put aside a little extra pocket change every month. And one of the first things to go are monthly subscriptions. We know it stinks, but this doesn’t mean your Spotify account needs to disappear forever.

The best tablets in 2024: top 11 tablets you can buy now

Disney+ app on the iPad Air 5.

As much as we love having the best smartphones in our pockets, there are times when those small screens don't cut it and we just need a larger display. That's when you turn to a tablet, which is great for being productive on the go and can be a awesome way to unwind and relax too. While the tablet market really took off after the iPad, it has grown to be quite diverse with a huge variety of products — from great budget options to powerhouses for professionals.

We've tried out a lot of tablets here at Digital Trends, from the workhorses for pros to tablets that are made for kids and even seniors -- there's a tablet for every person and every budget. For most people, though, we think Apple's iPad Air is the best overall tablet — especially if you're already invested in the Apple ecosystem. But if you're not an Apple user, that's fine too; there are plenty of other great options that you'll find in this roundup.
