Opera

The guys at Opera are being very careful this time. There are so few things left that have been changed that perfection is within reach. This is something I haven’t seen before – a Release Candidate 3 for Opera 10.10.
From the Opera site we have the list of things changed -
Core/UI
- Removed Inconsolata.otf and [...]

Yesterday, the newest beta release of Opera 10.10 was made available on the Opera website. It is another step on the way to Opera with a bug-free Unite platform.
You have never experienced the Web like this
Opera Unite is a powerful platform that turns your Web browser into a Web Server too. This means you can [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

As work continues on the Unite part of the Opera browser, so does the addressing of any small problems in the mail parts of browser and mail program.
Though I have not experienced any, there are obviously some there, as the list of bug fixes notes them, and notes in which version of the program they [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

Those of use who follow this knew it could not be long. Opera 10 betas kept removing any little problems left in the initial shakedown of the product. Now, for those who can’t wait, or are having perhaps a last little bit of trouble with one of the betas, the Release Candidate is available, to [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]
