In this article I’m going to specifically concentrate on Google Chrome and Opera memory management. Google Chrome 20 The first question Chrome users would have concerning this is: “Whadya mean Chrome has memory issues? IT DOESN’T!” Not at first. But it eventually will. Chrome is like IE in the respect that runs each tab as a separate...

There are in fact many web browsers out there, but the four that people have actually heard of are Windows Internet Exporer, Mozilla Firefox, Google Chrome and Opera. Before starting, yes there is such a thing as a web browser that hardly uses any memory at all, and that’s the text-based type like Lynx, elinks and so on for the Linux environment. People...

Recently I did a video on how to get Firefox via FTP, and decided to try the same for the Opera browser. I found out that yes, you can download Opera the same browser-less way if you wish, but more importantly I discovered that yes, Opera does have a 64-bit version. I unfortunately cannot post a direct download link to the 64-bit version of Opera – but...

In the Linux environment, it’s easy to install Firefox without a browser. An example would be sudo apt-get install firefox. In Windows however, the way you do the no-browser way is via FTP. Why would you need to know how to do this? As it states in the video, if you’re ever put into the situation where you cannot load the Firefox web site to download...

For those of you that still use Windows 2000, either at work or at home, you know that Firefox 12 was the last version to work in that environment. If you want to install Firefox 13, WinXP is the minimum required Windows OS. Much to the dismay of many Win2000 users, Google never released a version of Chrome that worked on a native level in Win2000 as they...

“Click-To-Play” means that for any Flash content that appears, instead of just automatically playing the content you will see a puzzle piece icon or a play icon where you have to click that to start the Flash. For many, this is exactly how like they Flash to operate. Chrome and Opera both have Click-To-Play built in (in Opera 12 it’s a checkbox...

The first question you have upon read of the title for this article is, “Why would I need to know this?” That’s an easy answer. Very few people actually remember what type of graphics card is in their system. In the instance where you need to (re)install video drivers, you need a quick way of getting this information without having to crack...

While I’m not a Firefox guy anymore, there is one feature that no other browser has ever been able to do as well, and that’s Live Bookmarks. Firefox is well known to have the absolute best bookmark management out of every browser that exists, and the fact it can do double-duty handling both regular static bookmarks and dynamic RSS feeds just makes it...

As a test, I used Google Chrome in “Incognito Mode” (as in private browsing) which turns all extensions off, so for any web page I loaded, everything showed up. All ads, all scripts, all Flash, everything. After that, I cleared the cache and loaded 5 popular web sites. I wanted to see exactly how much memory certain web sites would take up when...

While it’s obvious that one should keep the files on their work computer neat, tidy, and organized, not many people apply the same principles to their home workstations. Truth be told, it’s a little odd.  Keeping all your files where they can be easily found should be second nature to most people. Using the Windows search tool is a terribly...
