So last night, I downloaded and installed the latest 2.0.0.14 release of Firefox (I’m just not ready for beta3 yet). I’ve been a Flock supporter for about two years now, but it was just time to switch. It wasn’t necessarily anything that Flock did that made me go back to Firefox. It was what it […]
Flock doesn’t get Twitter
Overall, I like Flock. It’s a good browser, and so far, it’s been better to me than Firefox 2. The media bar is an amazing concept that was implemented very well. And the media uploading function works great. Flock is smooth and reliable, and I’m loving the experience, even without most of my add-ons. But […]
Firefox 3 beta – CRUNCH
Well, I installed the Firefox v3 beta release 1 today, and promptly uninstalled it just five minutes later. See just why below: The only other program I had actively running was MS Word and Yahoo! Widgets. I had only 2 tabs open, Google Reader and Evil Avatar. Within just two minutes, Firefox had frozen my […]
The (possible) future look of Firefox version 3
Via Lifehacker, I’ve been pointed towards Alex Faaborg, a user interface designer working on the upcoming Firefox 3, who has posted some screenshot mockups of some of the experimental designs they are working to incorporate into the updated browser. Alex adds the usual disclaimer, about how the designs may change or potentially not even make […]
Back to Firefox
With everything going on recently, and me being so incredibly busy with side projects, I completely forgot to mention that I switched back to Firefox over the holidays. I’m still a tremendous supporter of Flock and will continue to track its progress, but I simply can’t use the pre-1.0 version of the software. Not until […]
So, Songbird is actually just singing a different tune
Apparently Songbird developers flock to websites whenever their product is mentioned. That’s fine by me. Developer Nivi has commented in my previous post regarding my non-acceptance of the Songbird build: We may be doing a bad job communicating the (eventual) Songbird value proposition. Songbird isn’t supposed to replace your web browser. It is supposed to […]
Songbird isn’t singing to me
In a previous post, I referred to the Songbird Firefox build as "an unfortunate waste of code." This comment prompted Rob Lord–one of the principal Songbird developers–to ask me in the comments of that post why I felt that way towards their product. I guess the wonders of Technorati keep even this obscure little blog […]
Will Firefox users flock to Flock?
Link: Flock The new kid on the block, Flock, is supposedly launching their first public beta sometime this afternoon/evening/night (version 0.7 — internally referred to as "Cardinal"). The theory behind the new browser is basically web 2.0. It's social. It's efficient. It's integrated. Bookmarks are stored on del.icio.us and displayed within the browser via a […]
Sync your Firefox settings with Google
Link: Official Google Blog I use Firefox at work (probably a bit more than I should) and I hate the fact that when I get on my home computer, I have old bookmarks I haven't updated in months, a different homepage, and several websites that I can automatically log into at work, but have to […]
