Firefox

It seems as though Microsoft is getting the bump by some manufacturers here in the U.S,, as Sony, for one, is shipping its VAIO notebooks with Chrome as the default browser.
Everyone who reads certainly must know by now that Internet Exploder is the slowest  of the most used browsers, and it has only been in [...]

Mozilla has produced Firefox, which is a wildly popular e-mail application, and many would say it broke the too long held hegemony of Microsoft, in an unfair war it waged on users. The program has continued to be in the forefront of design, and leads in ways other than mindshare.
On the other hand, Thunderbird was [...]

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 [...]

Back in February, an add-on was installed into many user’s installations of Firefox were ‘augmented’ by a Microsoft plug-in item. Those who knew about it, and are not afraid (some would say paranoid) of this type of addition, thought that it was an indication that Firefox had arrived – Microsoft was finally acknowledging that Internet [...]

The boys at Mozilla have already taken notice, so you might as well also. The people who work on the Gnome environment have decided that perhaps it’s time for a change, and are dropping the Mozilla browser guts to make Epiphany.
Instead, the new versions will use Webkit, so speed will be increased, and it’s anyone’s [...]

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 [...]

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, [...]

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 [...]

Perhaps the reason those Microsoft ads showing the barfing were pulled is that some users were barfing when they found out how they were being attacked when using Internet Exploited.
According to the Internet Storm Center, Microsoft Internet Explorer can be zapped hard by a new attack showing up in drive-by fashion.

Though I’m not sure that re-inventing the web was accurate, certainly Opera Unite does change the very way in which many will do things. I immediately think of my son, and his interactions with his friends. Where one can download a torrent of a map for a first person shooter, which, when first released, is [...]

Microsoft has decided to write an extension for Firefox on Windows. No that is not good news. Though I’ve watched this go back and forth over several blogs over a few days, the story was not reported in quite the same way, and I wasn’t willing to install Firefox in order to test it.
I see [...]

Over the last few days, I have read many articles, from entities on 3 continents, about the European Union and its (possible) decision to make Microsoft deliver Windows 7 with several browsers, such as Chrome, Firefox, and Opera.
The kneejerk idiots state that if these four are considered for inclusion, why should not (put your named, [...]

Over the weekend, I have read several stories (not simply one citing the same things) about the need for actively removing Internet Explorer 6 from the internet landscape.
They probably have something, because as I learn about web design, I see how far afield IE6 goes from the established ways of rendering things. Of course, Microsoft [...]

Everyone has one, and most people think theirs smells the best. Over at PC World, someone identified as Keir Thomas wrote an article yesterday, predicting the demise of the Firefox browser. In fact, he says the deceased simply doesn’t know it yet.
As evidenced by the the up and down votes, he just might have started [...]

I have been very keen on tracking the different browsers lately, basically because I am stuck with Opera 9.6 and awaiting the beta of Opera 10, because the current 10.0 alphas are too broken for my everyday use (that means they crash more than 5 times in 8 hours).
Still, I see features in the alphas [...]
