Think Opera will ever see the fame and success of Firefox in the near future? I tend to question this myself, despite me using it as a backup web browser. And at the end of the day, my pondering Opera’s existence remains a real fascination with me - why?
Because they dare to exist I suppose. [...]

Last week I had need to go to our local library and was waiting while my grandson was picking up some books that he needed for school. I wanted to kill some time by getting on the Internet and checking out my blog site and also start to do another blog article. But as we [...]

I read an article over at ZD Net this morning that indicates that some companies seem to think that Google’s Chrome browser is a security risk. Though nothing specific is being mentioned, it appears that someone, some where may be trying to take the shine off of Chrome. Or is it a real security risk?
It [...]

By now, one would think that most internet users would be careful of where and what they click. There be dangers lurking. However, there is a study with pop ups that shows why hackers prosper:

After reading this article on the upcoming IE8, I am finding myself wondering if both Microsoft and Mozilla are doing little more than playing catchup to Opera Browser and Apple’s Safari Browser? And if you read far enough down the page, it seems that others agree that these types of security features are hardly new.
Rather [...]

My first reaction upon viewing this video was that it was really neat and a lot of hard work must have been put into it. As a fantasy concept, it is really ground breaking. That said, the problem is that completely shaking up how people browse the Web is not going to be all that [...]

Still using Opera, however I am forced to type this with Firefox as it seems that the WordPress Rich Editor has compatibility issues with Opera for some reason. Despite this, it has come a long way from this event. Remember when Opera was serving ads?
With all of the good that Opera has recently brought to [...]

The news of the Microsoft Internet Explorer team sending the Firefox team at Mozilla a cake had me laughing a bit. Even more impressive is the personal delivery by an IE team member! As most of you know, today is download day for Firefox 3 download day. I have chosen to celebrate by instead installing [...]

Still having mixed feelings about the release of Firefox 3 as it currently has some serious bugs on Linux, due to the the system killing fsync bug. Allegedly, it is fixed, but I have yet to see evidence of it. Despite that frustration and the fact that 90% of the add-ons I use are now [...]

As shocking as this may be for some, I will not be upgrading to Firefox 3 anytime soon. Besides still opting to cater to Google over providing a real RSS management solution like Opera or IE7, the default url suggestion/auto-complete is hideous. Think I am nuts? Let me share a little history.
I started out as [...]

I have really been trying to not fall into the hype surrounding other browsers and pointing fingers at IE as any browser, Firefox included, has its vulnerabilities. But when your browser supports something as sloppy and dangerous as ActiveX and even to this day, the technology is STILL a hurdle in securing the Windows desktop, [...]

On Friday, I showed you how to do something that even Microsoft itself has not accomplished with Windows XP — run admin only applications with the limited user’s password, all within the limited user itself and without resorting to the dangerous “RunAs” function. The obvious benefits from a safe computing aspect are staggering. Being able [...]

Most of you reading this are likely doing so with the now popular Web browser lovingly known as Firefox. Born out of the frustration to need something with less bloat, Firefox fit the bill with flying colors.
