Firefox 5

Mozilla did quite well in the web browsing industry to compete with Internet Explorer,Google Chrome,Safari and Opera,maintaining the second position for years.However,it could not be easy to stay with it now as Google Chrome has a faster upgrade cycle that leads the applications of new technologies and it’s getting more and more market share now.Finally Mozilla decides to move faster too,making out a new version of Firefox in every 6 weeks.Firefox 5 is the first.

In terms of the look,I don’t think Firefox 5 has any significant differences to the previous versions.Well,some improvements are added in this new version.

  • Support CSS animation.
  • DO-NOT-TRACK technology,allow users to set if they’re willing to be tracked by some websites or not.
  • Canvas Draw technology,load rich media pages faster.
  • For Android version,support Web Open Font Format.
  • Also for Android version,scroll page will be much smoother.

If you’re using Firefox,you could go to ‘about Firefox’ to update it;if you’re not,you also could get it here.

I wish you like it.

Gaga with Chrome

Well,it may not be so surprised as Lady Gaga had visited Google HQ weeks ago and now she makes a piece of commercial for Chrome.The video is still full of Gaga style,funky punky feelings all around.I bet Gaga fans will love it so much.

All right,after viewing it,Gaga fans wanna switch to Google Chrome or not?!

Frankly speaking,I’m on Chrome side.

Google Chrome on TV

Google now starts to promote the browser Google Chrome on TV.The latest video clip is saying how convenient the extensions on Google Chrome work.

I have to admit that I am a Google fan:I’m using Gmail to send and receive emails;I’m using Nexus One which is a Google phone with Android system;I’m searching stuff by Google search engine;Even now I’m open Google Chrome to write this blog post.Google is everywhere in my life and that’s what Google’s doing-try to touch into everybody’s daily life and it is the exact way that Google generates income.

Well,Google is not satisfied with what it’d done and wish to go further to attract more attentions from potential users.TV advertisement is really a good way to go.

Do you like this video?I like it very much as it’s showing how technologies could help us build up a warm memory.Guys behind Google are too smart.

Opera 11.10

There are many web browsers out there.People may always confuse which one is suitable for their daily use.For me,I always use Google Chrome and Opera.The former one is light weight,loading fast and having quite good compatibility with most websites;the latter one is loading even faster because of the function called Opera Turbo,but sometimes not compatible to some websites.Hence,I always use Opera when I’m in a shared,busy network such as in Starbucks.

Opera has turned into 11th edition.Through years of  improvements ,it has been much better than before.It now can supports widgets and add-ons,and also provides Opera Link for synchronizing bookmarks,type history,notes etc. and Opera Unite for sharing files in the cloud under the same account,working as media player,photo sharing service and web server etc.

In Opera 11.10,the Opera develop team makes great movements on enhancing the performance.Here are the great points on the latest version:

Internet Explorer 9

After several betas and RCs,the final version of Internet Explorer 9 is on the table.From the past testing,I really feel that IE has changed a lot.Many people dropped IE to use other browsers because the old IE always has errors occurred during surfing and performed quite bad in terms of loading web pages and java scripts.

Well,the weakness are gone after paying great efforts to make IE better enough competing with other browsers,such as Firefox and Google Chrome.Let’s hear how the people feel on this latest product this time:

IE9 has 9 reasons to let you install it.

Badly,IE9 can’t support to install in Windows XP and older systems.That means some old computer and netbook users can’t try it neither.

Frankly speaking,although IE9 has claimed to be the fastest web browser in the world,but from my real experience,Google Chrome still performs a bit better than it.However,the changes are remarkable as we can see.

The automatic update of IE has been rolling out.However,if you haven’t updated automatically and you wanna get it immediately,please try to get it in this page and install it manually in minutes.Enjoy!

Google Chrome

Yesterday I saw the news in Engadget which quoted from Google official blog that Google would release its own web browser.It’s so efficient that I can use it now.

Google Chrome

Google Chrome has a real simple interface as you can see.It runs quite fast and smooth though it can’t support some website well,especially on flash.There is an online comic book to describe why Google Chrome comes out.

I think you’d better to try it.It’s really a nice experience and I hope it can be agaist the coming IE8.

Maxton Web Browser

maxton logoPreviously I tried to use it for several months,but after that I gave it up.The reason is at that time I found out this web browser occupying a lot of my physical memories and CPU usage.Well,it was on beta stage so that those bugs were bearable.However some frequent hangs-up made me upset.

Nevertheless I have to announce this one now which has done a bulk of tests-Version 2.0.2.2961.No denying that this browser has a much faster loading speed than any other browsers which included Safari.And more compatible to most of websites and Windows systems makes a stable computer life.

OK,that is only a piece of iceburg…Adding that Maxton has both perfect Chinese and English edition.I think it is a quite good browser.Functions are waiting for your searching.

Recommend it…
