I like Chrome, but it really isn’t the Jesus Browser
So I like Chrome, I think it has the potential to be a really great browser. Beyond that, I like that Google seems to be drawing a line in the sand for this project, something it’s not done in a long, long time. They didn’t announce it two years ago, they didn’t start a consortium [...]
Google Chrome could be big
So Google dropped the bomb yesterday that they were going to be launching their own open source browser today. They also had Scott McCloud draw a comic to help them explain it, which initially annoyed the crap out of me, but as I went through reading, found strangely compelling. I ran through a gamut of [...]
Download Firefox 3… today. No… RIGHT NOW!
UPDATE: Check out the live mozilla download counter. At 430k as of this moment.
Well, today is the day. Firefox 3 is out and going for a Guinness World Record for most software downloaded in 24 hours. Check out their pledge map of people who are going to download and promote this bad boy. You can [...]
Browser Wars, part Trois
UPDATED Thu Mar 27 11:49:54 EDT 2008
Seriously man, the browser wars are getting nice and intense, just the way I like’em. Even back in the day when Microsoft was putting the kibosh on Netscape it wasn’t like this - here we’ve got 4 significant browsers all dueling to the death. Sitting on the throne is [...]
On the joys of auto upgrading
I was perusing Google Analytics this weekend, as I sometimes do and wandered into a little used (by me) corner - the browser capabilities. And something struck me as I gazed upon those numbers. How concentrated the version numbers were for Firefox and Safari and how divided they were with IE.
For Firefox, it seemed [...]

When I traded up my Treo 650 for my iPhone one of the biggest differences I noticed (and that’s saying something because there were a lot of big differences, savvy?) was the web browser. The browsing experience, completely apart from download speeds, was like night and day - where I would subconciously dread doing anything [...]
Rise up, Firefox!
Heh, Mozilla seems to have launched a viral campaign (who isn’t these days?) and have busted out the below video… We Are the World style. A supergroup of YouTube stars takes to the stage singing the song. Ok, the song isn’t that great, but it’s still kinda funny. Mostly it’s funny to read the stats [...]
Browser Wars, part Dos
In my ongoing love of competition I noticed a few posts about browsers today. I feel like that for the first time since IE took on Netscape back in the day, the browsers wars are really heated again! I think that the entrace of Safari 3 as a real browser contender (and the iPhone using [...]

GeekFindr: Safari’s Web Inspector
As Firefox begins to crush my soul on a regular basis, I find myself in Safari more often (which isn’t too often, but enough) and so I’m learning more about this strange beast these days. It still offers no replacement for web developer and tamper data but I recently discovered the “Inspect Element” feature that’s [...]

Remember?
Remember when it used to be:
“It is spelled N-e-t-s-c-a-p-e, but it’s pronounced Mozilla.”
Yeah. Good times.
