Google is killing yet another useful (paid!) service [Archive.is] Kristian Köhntopp on Twitter: “Google wants to cancel Google Music, in favor of Youtube Music. Meanwhile Youtube Music is killing my playlists by removing titles left and right. This is a trash fire. So there is Spotify. What else exists?… “

Blocking persons (for instance for sending you materials that in G+ would be a T.O.S. violation) is only possible by blocking them, not by reporting them.
Most hangouts users however do have a G+ account, so you can request a block there.
Relevant links:
If you don’t feel comfortable in a Hangout with someone, you can block them. When you block someone, they can see that you’re online but can’t send you Hangouts messages.
Tip: If you are contacted by strangers or spammers, choose who can contact you directly.
You can see your conversations, invites and contacts. Contacts that are online are at the top of the list with a green circle on their photo.
…
Let people contact you without an invite.
If you see something on Google+ that violates our User Conduct and Content Policies, you can report it. Violations might include: Bullying, threatening, or harassing someone Hate speech …

Somehow Firefox is available on ARM by default, but the crash recovery isn’t that awesome.
On my list of things to try is Chrome or Chromium. These links should help me find out if this is possible at all:

So I wondered why on some tabs, the bookmark bar would never disappear:
Chrome’s default new tab page (NTP) always shows a bookmark bar, even if you turn it off for other pages. You can however install browser extensions which replace the NTP, and the replacements do not automatically get the bookmarks bar (but can with some extra programming).
So for instance Google’s Earth View extension does not show bookmarks, whereas Pinterest’s now does.
Thanks deltab for answering this at [WayBack] google chrome – How to hide the bookmark bar? – Super User

Hopefully by now the extensions below still work, as Google removed the “View Image” button in Google Image Search a few years back.
When not: these might help finding an updated method (:
Via:
Google’s image-based search engine has been a staple of the internet for more than a decade. But this morning it got a little less useful: in addition to making the reverse image search tool harder to find, the “Show Image” button has disappeared.

[WayBack] browser – Clearing old browsing data in Chrome instead of newer data – Super User had a few possibilities, but eHistory disappeared from the Chrome store (apparently due to some unknown violation), so the way that works best now is to hack the History database which is a SQLite file as mentioned in

Cool: [WayBack] GitHub – kzahel/web-server-chrome: An HTTP Web Server for Chrome (chrome.sockets API)
This allows you to develop HTTP applications that live in Chrome:
[Archive.is1/Archive.is2] Web Server for Chrome – Chrome Web Store: A Web Server for Chrome, serves web pages from a local folder over the network, using HTTP. Runs offline.
Of course you could to python -m SimpleHTTPServer 8888 or python -m http.server 8888, but this runs within chrome and can be used from inside JavaScript projects.
Features
- serve local files
- configure listening port
- configure listening interface (e.g. localhost or all interfaces)
- custom http handlers possible
- websocket support available
- works nice with chrome.runtime.onSuspend
- options for autostart, start in background, etc etc.
- handles range requests, HEAD, etc
- options for CORS
- optional PUT, DELETE request (for upload files)
- sets MIME types
- can render directory listing
- See relevant options: https://github.com/kzahel/web-server-chrome/blob/master/polymer-ui/options.js
Via [WayBack] This is super useful: A# web #server that runs in #Chrome! Makes it super easy to do local web dev without the hassle of setting up a complex back end s… – Jason Mayes – Google+

Interesting: Secure Shell – Chrome Web Store. But does not work behind an SSH blocking firewall, seem more on that below.
Terminal emulator and SSH client.
Secure Shell is an xterm-compatible terminal emulator and stand-alone ssh client for Chrome. It uses Native-Client to connect directly to ssh servers without the need for external proxies.
Secure Shell is a Beta release and has known bugs.
Please read the FAQ, available here: http://goo.gl/3i5AJ.
You can also exchange feedback in the chromium-hterm mailing list, available here: http://goo.gl/RYHiK.
Edit 20240818: the above Googl links will die; the redirects back at the time of writing in 2014 where to:
- [Wayback/Archive] [chromiumos/platform/assets.git] / chromeapps / nassh / doc / faq.txt which first moved to [Wayback/Archive] hterm and Secure Shell – nassh/doc/FAQ.md and later moved to [Wayback/Archive] hterm and Secure Shell – nassh/docs/FAQ.md.
- [Wayback/Archive] chromium-hterm – Google Groups which now has moved to [Wayback/Archive] chromium-hterm – Google Groups.
It is based on [WayBack] GitHub – chromium/hterm: MOVED: Please use the new libapps repo on chromium.googlesource.com insteadf.
With relays, you can tunnel over SSH. Two relays are on github:
