I’ve been keeping track of the visitors here for a while now, and have noticed some interesting trends. I can see what OS and browser visitor’s use; and it’s been fun to see Firefox and IE’s shares grow according to their new releases, along with that of Windows 7, and the decline of XP.

Reclaim your Vertical Real Estate
Do you have a netbook, or a widescreen monitor? If you do, then you’ve probably run into the problem of tall web pages. These monitors force you to constantly scroll up and down to read what’s on the page. I’ve found that while this affects pretty much everything you do, the biggest source of frustration tends to be while on the internet.

Firefox Update to 4.0.1
Firefox has received an update to 4.0.1, promising some generic performance and stability improvements. This is the first update being released for the 4.0 version of Firefox, and slightly changes the way Mozilla is handling updates.
If you’ve kept the default installation settings, then Firefox should update automatically, or at least warn [...]

Firefox 4.0 is out Today!
The latest version of Firefox is out today, so go and download it. For anyone doing a manual download, please try using a site other than the official site, since Mozilla is afraid of the massive amount of requests it’s going to get.
This version promises to be faster, more stable, and offer better extension support, so go on and get started [...]
Speed Up Firefox with Pipelining
Firefox is a fantastic browser. It’s infinitely extendable, with add-ons for anything you can think of. It’s stable, and pretty darn fast. But how would you like something faster? Fast is good, and it’s even better when you can do it easily.
How? Enable pipelining.
Enable what-now? We often say that the internet is a series of pipes. Well, t [...]
Wiphishing and Firesheep
How often do you use Wi-Fi? How often do you use a connection you know nothing about? If you’re on the go a lot, you’ve probably connected to hotspots that have no security, or seemed pretty dubious. So why should you care? Because you may find yourself the next victim of wiphishing (also known as an evil twin). This is when a hacker sets up [...]
Mozilla, Why so Serious?
John Antoni Griffiths
Mozilla, you have given the world so much. Thunderbird is a fantastic E-mail client, and Firefox is an amazing browser.
So why are you so uptight? Firefox 4.0 is coming out in a month, but rather than be excited about a new release, all I can think is: finally!
About a year ago, the Mozilla foundation said that it would [...]

If Your Web Browser was a Car, What w...
Earlier this week, we looked at the different types of add-ons we use, and how they make our favorite web browsers even better. Now, we’ll look at browser themselves, and compare them to… modes of transportation.

The Top 5 Greatest Firefox Add-Ons
Tristan Nitot
Firefox and Chrome are of the two most popular web browsers out right now. They both have great features, but the biggest, most popular thing about them are the add-ons. Microsoft’s Internet Explorer is, in and of itself, a good browser; but Firefox has add-ons, and that’s what keeps me coming back. My favorite add-ons give Fi [...]

teknophilia
There are countless programs, add-ons, and websites that promise to keep you safe online. As far as I know, there hasn’t been a single fool-proof solution other than to not use the internet at all. What we tend to do instead is browse carefully, steering clear of dubious websites. While most anti-virus suites now come with the al [...]
