Firefox

Another way has been found for Internet Exploder versions 6 or 7 to be compromised. It was first posted by a hacker, and later confirmed by Symantec (good to know they’re working together on this!) to be a way to install rogue software on the user’s machine.
The story comes from NetworkWorld, and apparently has no [...]

They’ve been saying that Internet Exploder is more secure than Firefox. While no one would call them out as liars, we all thought they might be stretching the truth just a bit. Now there’s evidence they haven’t been fudging the figures.
A slashdot piece tells us that Internet Exploder isn’t as attack-worthy as Firefox; not good [...]

that Mozilla released Firefox 1.0 to play… And for Internet Exploder, it was the day the music died.
Chrome was not a gleam in Google’s collective eye, and my favorite, Opera, was only available as a paid application.
So unless you’re a Microsoft fanboy, you have a lot to be thankful for today (even Microsoft fanboys should [...]

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, [...]
