Upcoming Firefox Makeover – Imitation (of Chrome) Truly The Most Sincere Flattery

In a move that may prove the undoing of the Firefox market share, the developers are stating that Firefox will get some changes as a nod to the changing face of Windows, but also the details show that more than a few of the proposed changes will make the new Firefox look more than a [...]

Chrome Gains Speed, “Borrowed” Features

New results indicate that Google Chrome gets faster, always nice, but is also starting to gain features. One of those features is currently an Opera exclusive, which will synchronize bookmarks across all of the user’s machines.
The sync feature is done using the same protocol as Google Talk, which may or may not be better than [...]

S3 Lives! It Also Delivers A New GPU

For those wanting a bit more competition in the graphics market, there is hope. No, I’m not talking about the over-valued and under-delivered Intel Larrabee project from Intel. (that project seems to be in terminal delay mode)
The competition I speak of is from S3, the graphics company that has been on life support for years, [...]

Opera Outperforms Again

With the latest builds of Opera, another ability is released to the public, that no other browser allows (this is getting to be a habit, for those not paying attention).
For the Opera user, there  have been many little applets, which Opera calls Widgets. The Widgets are much like the applets originally released in the product [...]

Webkit – Just the Start of a Good Browser

Have you ever wondered why there is so much differentiation in all the various browsers based upon the WebKit [engine]?
I must admit, I haven’t given it that much thought, but after reading an article in InfoWorld, I must admit I was not fully in possession of the facts. (as an Opera user, I think that [...]

Chrome Gets a Designer Touch

For users of the Google browser, and there are more all the time, a slew of new themes have been released, including some with the designer touch!
Names known to the followers of fashion, such as Todd Oldham and Marc Ecko, have allowed their designs to become incorporated into themes, making the browser a bit more [...]

Use Chrome Frame Without Thinking

For those who feel the need to keep using Chrome Frame, inside Internet Exploder (whatever version), instead of either going with Chrome, Iron, or another more secure browser, there is help, so that you will not have to invoke Chrome Frame with each window.
As the article states, on the Digital Inspiration site, there are some [...]

Google Takes the Fight Directly to Microsoft With Chrome Frame

Announced today, Google has just dropped a bomb on the Microsoft camp. Through the use of a plug-in, it is going to attempt to win the browser wars in one fell swoop.
A plug-in called Chrome Frame, will ostensibly  install into any recent version of Internet Explorer, and transfer all of Chrome’s goodness and speed, directly [...]

OpenOffice Needs Some Changes

Doing some maintenance on my computers today, I was thinking of how much I miss the Google Pack. Oh, I know there is something that masquerades as the Google Pack, but it’s not like the one of just a few years ago. I refer to the Google Pack that used to include, at various times, [...]

Speed Addicts, Forget Chrome - Midori Is Faster, More Frugal with Resources

There are some who are constantly looking for the fastest, smallest, least resource hungry program to get a job done. These are the kind of people who use Wordpad, or Abiword, instead of Microsoft Word, Gnumeric instead of Excel, and Chrome instead of Internet Explorer, or Firefox.
These people have helped Chrome grow quickly and be [...]

Sony to Push Chrome on Vaio? Will Any of the Big OEMs Follow?

A story on Betanews states that Google is going to have Chrome soon found on Sony Vaio computers, as delivered.  The beginning of a move by Google to get Chrome into the mainstream may or may not come with this, as Sony is not really a major supplier of computers. A really big deal would [...]

Opera Releases Second Release Candidate for Version 10

With no word of putting off the new version availability on September 1, it seems that releasing another candidate right now is odd. However, Opera Labs has done it, and shows that bugs are being removed faster than actual ones could say ‘Raid!’ in the popular commercials.
The build is 1750, and makes quite a few [...]

Chrome – Perhaps It’s Not The Best Answer… BTW, The Question Was?

I usually don’t get too excited by much of anything when it comes to computers anymore. It’s not that I have seen it all, but if I haven’t, it probably isn’t worth seeing. That’s not a ‘Look at me, I’m great!’ moment, but I have been doing this for over 20 years, and I was [...]

Things You Learn With An Open Eye, and Mind

With all the noise being made about browser speed and security, it is sometimes anyone’s guess as to which browser should be used…or is it? If you are at all interested, you have read stories putting up Internet Explorer 8, by Microsoft, as the most secure browser. Of course, that result is specious, as Microsoft [...]

Opera 10 Revision 1723 Revealed

Another revision of Opera 10 is now available. With many small repairs to fix the interface and other workings, it makes me think about the changes that are occurring in the extremes of the browser space.
Google keeps releasing revisions of Chrome, at a pace so frenetic that only the Jolt cola crowd can keep up [...]
