Millions of users worldwide were locked out of websites on November 18, 2025, after a major Cloudflare outage triggered the error message “please unblock challenges.cloudflare.com to proceed.” The disruption affected platforms like ChatGPT, Canva, X, Perplexity, online banking, and thousands of smaller business sites. Instead of a browser or device issue, the problem came from a failed routing update inside Cloudflare that broke its security verification system. The incident highlighted how dependent the modern internet has become on a few infrastructure providers and how quickly a single failure can ripple across the web.

Canva just made one of its boldest moves yet — it’s making Affinity by Canva free for everyone. After acquiring the Affinity suite earlier this year, Canva is opening access to professional-grade design tools like Affinity Designer, Photo, and Publisher without a subscription fee.

This decision doesn’t just lower costs for creators — it levels the playing field. Freelancers, students, and small studios can now use top-tier design software that once rivaled Adobe, completely free. With this update, Canva is signaling a shift toward an open, AI-driven creative ecosystem that’s redefining digital design for 2025 and beyond.

India’s AI revolution just got a major push. Through the new Google Jio Gemini partnership, millions of Jio 5G users now get 18 months of free access to Google’s most advanced AI tools — including Gemini 2.5 Pro, NotebookLM, and creative suites like Nano Banana. This collaboration isn’t just a tech upgrade; it’s a move to democratize AI in one of the world’s fastest-growing digital markets. With 850+ million internet users and AI adoption rising 32% annually (IDC), this deal could redefine how Indians learn, create, and innovate online.

AI browsers are no longer just a curiosity — they’re changing how we browse, research, and get work done online. Two players are leading the charge: ChatGPT Atlas and Perplexity Comet.
