Internet Explorer

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 [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

You know things are getting weird when Microsoft and Mozilla agree on anything. After all, one is a closed source developer, the other is open source. The one uses bullying tactics and sheer market drive to push its browser, the other has used an appeal of quality to the prospective users.
This is one of those [...]

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 [...]

I wrote yesterday about the Microsoft reply to the use of Chrome Frame, and, while many places were concentrating on articles about the speed increases, those same places now seem to have caught up on the ’shot’ that Google was taking at the core of Microsoft.
This morning, Adrian Kinsley-Hughes, from ZDnet, asks who do you [...]

They say it’s not a good thing. You were expecting something else? How naive are you?
Of course they are going to say something like that. In the history of the world, about the only stories we have of the embrace of one’s enemies is in stories of Christ, in the New Testament. This is not [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

Yesterday, on ZDNet, Adrian Kingsley-Hughes wrote about a couple of ActiveX vulnerabilities in Internet Exploder®, for which no fixes are coming in today’s set of patches. These problems are not new, yet there is still no fix. Microsoft seems to be stuck with using ActiveX when, time and again, it has had it shown to [...]

Apparently the sound beating that all the competing browsers give Internet Explorer 8 is not enough to keep them from spending still more money to bring attention to it. With the release of Firefox 3.5 yesterday, you must admit that Microsoft certainly isn’t afraid to spend, bringing ads for IE8 to market on the very [...]

As someone who is starting to learn about HTML coding (more than just a bit here and there, that is), it is easy for me to see how difficult it can be to make sure the browsers in current usage work with the variety of web pages available.
Before I started learning this, my most heard [...]

Ryan Naraine, who writes for ZDNet on security matters, again has given us all reasons to ponder why we use Microsoft products. A new record of 28 patches was achieved yesterday, and most are due to the use of Office and Internet Explorer.
It makes me wonder why anyone would want to use Office, as it [...]
