Recently, there has been a lot of buzz over the netbook market.  While there have been a lot of entrants into this sphere, the one who has possibly made the biggest splash- and hasn’t even officially released anything yet- is Google, with their touted Chrome OS.  For anyone who has followed the...

For those of you up late late Sunday night (in North America) you may have received a special treat! Firefox version 3.6 RC2 was released on the 17th of January, bringing the new iteration of the popular web browser one step closer to completion. The Mozilla Foundation claims their latest release is “considered...

Google has added its name to the list of browser makers fighting Microsoft. They join Mozilla and Opera on the case. Google has a lot more money than both the nonprofit Mozilla Foundation and Opera Software RSA combined, meaning that the EU now has a level competitor. Despite Chrome’s relatively...

I have become a Google Chrome fan.  I started using the browser as an experiment for a few weeks, and haven’t looked back since (I chronicled the switch on my blog).  However, one thing I started to notice is that I would fairly frequently click on a page on my laptop (connected via wireless,...

When I started down the dark path towards Mac acceptance, I picked up a couple of issues of MacWorld magazine to help familiarize myself with the platform.  One of the issues I bought included an article on web browsers for Mac.  In the end, the article gave their editor’s choice to Safari.
