Since everyone seems to be determined to cover Google’s newly-launched Chrome browser on every side, I have decided to join in after I’ve been playing with the browser for a few days and reading literally hundreds of posts about it everywhere. This post is intended to demystify Google’s browser a little and show that some of the hype around it is merely about Google actually launching a browser instead of the innovative approaches implemented in the browser itself - no [...]

I don't use Firefox.  Say what you like about me personally, but I'm a dedicated Mac user.  I get what I need from Safari, and Camino makes for a nice alternative when necessary.  If I was using a PC, Firefox would be top dog, but thankfully, I am not. 
With that said, Firefox 3 came out, and I wasn't about to throw a party.  I downloaded it and gave it a shot, but it didn't woo me.  However, when [...]

Every so often, one of these “not an app, but a feature” products surprises me. SurfCanyon is one of those feature products. Originally designed as a web site, they have relaunched as a browser plug-in designed to make your search results better.
SurfCanyon runs on top of Google, Yahoo, and Live searches (not Ask.com, though, or any of the search aggregators like Dogpile), unobtrusively. All you see is a small target icon next to a link in search results. If you [...]

Some of you may remember a Mozilla tool released last October known as Prism. This prototype-stage software, originally released only for Windows, showed Firefox users where the evolution of web apps was headed; towards site-specific browsers (SSBs).
Although a Mac version was eventually released (as well as a Linux one), Prism's cross-platform intentions don't exactly make for a native-feel when run within Mac OS X. Now, to provide a more seamless desktop experience with SSBs for Mac users, Todd Ditchendorf [...]

This recurring subject of the Windows-Internet Explorer bundle’s anti-competitive behavior, as was recently reported once more by the BBC, is, I must say, a very tired one.
Yes, it is true that Microsoft packages its Internet browser with its operating systems sold both off the shelf and as partially-subsidized software for most new PCs. And no, that is not the ideal scenario other software manufacturers – Mozilla and Opera, to name just a couple – favor. They would, generally [...]

According to the creators of Grazr (which came onto the market in March 2006), it is a “free and easy way to gather and organize information from all over the Web. Use our drag and drop editor to collect feeds and links to Web pages, and then share them with others on this site, or place them on your own pages with our free widget.” In addition, it has the ability to read twitters. “The Grazr Twitter Reader is the [...]

It is my usual pleasure to report on the startups I am particularly fond of. That is why today I will share with you exciting news from YooRL, the web service that permits you to create a special link from any URL and share it with your friends by any means whatsoever to further track how the link propagates on the world map. The small Russian startup provides a totally new way to deal with how you share the links. [...]

Are you one of the million or so iPhone owners out there? Are you consistently feeling a little short on storage? If so, Box.net has a snazzy solution that’ll work quite phenomenally through the device’s Safari Internet browser.
First, one very big particular that you might like to know about:
If you’ve ever used Box.net or know what the service is comprised of, you know that through traditional interaction with its website (via a PC or Mac loaded a full-fledged Web browser) [...]

Apple’s holding an iPhone Tech Day Workshop this Monday (July 23). Only Apple Developer Connection members need apply.
According to the official invitation, the 1-day workshop, to be held somewhere within Infinite Loop in Cupertino, is free; you’ll only need to spend several thousand dollars for one of them golden ADC tickets for a chance at reserving a seat.
