Web Browsers Put To The TestWhen it comes to browsers, you have many options (listing a few): Firefox, IE, Safari, Opera and now Chrome. While the browser you prefer is simply that, personal perference, it is interesting to read reviews of how well they perform when compared to each other. ExtremeTech recently ran an article which tests these browsers called ‘Which Web Browser is King?‘. While the article is an interesting read, if you want to cut to the results here they are (note, the point system is explained in the article): Based on our arbitrary score assignments, Google Chrome is the speed king: Google...

Best Browser Extensions and Add-ons to Install in Google Chrome?We’re three months in and usage of Google’s Chrome browser is impressively increasing. However, right now the browser’s limitations are vast. Without productivity tools and enhancements like extensions and add-ons similar to the ones available in Firefox, your Chrome remains a simple browser. I’ve had enough of that already. I want extensions. I use Chrome right now for Google Reader and that’s about it. It’s not my default browser; I don’t have all my bookmarks ported in, I can’t stumble or quickly add any pages to delicious, and opening tabs from Google Reader into Chrome is just a time-waster for...

Escape from the browser? Sun's difficult position has been covered here, in business circles, and even in the land of puppets. So when Jonathan Schwartz surfaces with the launch of JavaFX 1.0, naturally the question in everyone's mind is how exactly a client technology is going to advance Sun's position in the marketplace as it downsizes to avoid a possible collapse. Schwartz comes out swinging in the video embedded below, talking of Java's strong position on desktops and what he calls the majority of mobile devices. He frames the discussion around the desire of companies to escape from the lock-in of the browser,...

Amazon Fights Piracy Tool, Creators Call It a Parodyjamie points out an interesting story which started a few days ago, when a pair of students from the Netherlands released a Firefox add-on which integrated links to the Pirate Bay on Amazon product pages. Customers who had the add-on would see a large "Download 4 Free" button next to items which were also available on the Pirate Bay. The add-on quickly drew notice, and the creators were hit with a take-down notice and threats of litigation from Amazon. Now, the students have removed the add-on, and they are claiming an unusual defense: "'Pirates of the Amazon' was an artistic...

Pirates Of The Amazon Take Over Download SiteUnder the moniker Pirates Of The Amazon, a group of media media students in Netherlands created a Firefox add-on that enabled song searches on Amazon MP3 to be downloaded free via Pirate Bay.  Amazon's legal department quickly issued a take down and the school complied. "It was a practical experiment on interface design, information access and currently debated issues in media culture." wrote the students. "We were surprised by the attentions and the strong reactions this project received. Ultimately, the value of the project lies in these reactions. It is a ready-made and social sculpture of contemporary internet user culture." ...

Opera 10 Alpha: Yeah, It’s Even Faster Than BeforeI’ve been following Opera’s new releases quite closely, and whether it’s one of the mobile versions of the browser or the desktop Opera, one cannot say they aren’t active. The numbers, unfortunately, just aren’t on their side: regardless of having a great feature set and being very fast, the desktop version of Opera just isn’t gaining significant traction. Opera’s next big release, Opera 10, raises expectation merely by its round version number, and now there’s an alpha version for everyone to try out. The new Presto 2.2 engine should bring speedier browsing, and even better adherence to W3C standards. Furthermore,...

Earlier this week, the open-source music player built on Mozilla technology, Songbird, finally made its 1.0 release. After being in development for two years, this version feels like the kind of solid media player we've been expecting and hoping for all along. Although nothing is entirely bug-free, this release worked smoothly, with both performance and stability seeming greatly improved. Combine that with its extendibility through the the use of add-ons, and you'll find Songbird has a lot of promise as a worthwhile iTunes replacement. Sponsor What We Liked When we looked at Songbird in the past, many readers were quick...
Maybe the Songbird team could have a look at this Razorfish presentation the released yesterday > http://snipurl.com/750l1. It might be interesting to start implementing their Facebook Connect suggestions for iTunes in Songbird. @Razorfish: ok to split the finders fee? ;-) - Bart Muskala

Moonlight Pictures says no to Chrome!If you were using Chrome and you were to access the official webpage for Moonlight Pictures you would get a message “Chrome not Supported”. Why? Well, we at Moonlight Pictures believe in having as much privacy as you can while browsing the internet and its come to light about how Google has tried to make their new shiny browser give them nonexclusive right to displays and distribute ever bit of content transmitted through the browser. We are aware that since the controversy emerged, Google says that they will change the Terms of Service and the correction will be retro-active, however,...

Conspiracy theory lovers are going to have a field day with this one: when you try to access Facebook using the Google Chrome browser today, you’ll get a warning that the social network may in fact be a phishing site. At least, it gave a warning here and at least two tipsters. It worked fine for me until earlier this morning. Is everyone seeing this? Update: this blog says the problem occurs in Firefox as well, but I don’t see it. Twitter is buzzing with people getting this notice as well.

Flock's New Add-on Proves OpenID In The Browser Can WorkSoftware maker Flock has released an OpenID management add-on for its social web browser. The add-on -- which works only on Flock 2.0 and not on Firefox 3, the browser upon which Flock is based -- was co-developed with MySpace and identity management company Vidoop. Even though MySpace helped create it, the add-on itself is site-agnostic. Once you install the add-on, you can use it to store your OpenID credentials securely within Flock. Then as you browse around to all of your favorite, OpenID-supporting social websites, Flock will alert you whenever you're able to use OpenID to log in to...

Safari market share tops 7%, but tracking firm admits data is skewedApple's Safari browser hit a record 7.13% user penetration for November, according to a report by Net Applications and described on Market Share's Hits Link page. It's very impressive, considering the browser only debuted in 2003 and until recently was limited to computers running Apple's OS X operating system. Is Safari so widespread? A post on MacRumors.com credits Safari for having "crested 7% of worldwide browser market share," but that's not actually what Net Applications measures. The company tracks browser usage -- how many hits are coming from browser A vs. browser B. In November, several factors skewed the results...
