It’s nice to have an auto-reload/refresh feature in your browser, particularly for sites that have their content change often (or even your webmail if it has issues auto-updating itself). Here are 3 ways to do it: Mozilla Firefox Add-on: ReloadEveryAfter installation of this add-on, right-click any loaded web page, choose Reload Every from the context...

In Mozilla Firefox, Opera and Google Chrome you can use keywords to activate any web site that supports custom input (like google.com for example). Mapping sites are easy to set up for keyword shortcut searches as long as you know how to configure them. The way to use the keyword search once configured is to go to your address bar, type the word MAP followed by...

Chrome is a browser that doesn’t have a lot of market share at the moment (it’s nowhere near IE’s or even Firefox’s share), but is slowly and steadily gaining more usage as more people find out about it. The current version of Chrome is 5. How to use Chrome is fairly easy. Watch the video below to learn some basics. Below are some...

One of Google Chrome‘s best selling points is speed, and beta 5 of the browser is the fastest yet (for JavaScript anyway) according to Google’s benchmark tests. I’ve never been one to pay attention to benchmarks when it comes to web browsers because it does not take into account ISP connection speed or any extensions/add-ons you have...

The three most known web browser rendering engines are Trident (IE), Gecko (Firefox) and Webkit (Safari/Chrome). In a previous article I covered some Trident alternatives, and in this one we’ll tackle two that use the others. K-Meleon Engine: Gecko Web site: http://kmeleon.sourceforge.net/ Although its name suggests this is a Linux browser,...

Google seems to have an odd way of deploying their Chrome browser. The first reaction when it appeared was, "Hey! Where’s the Mac and Linux versions? What gives?" It was nothing short of strange why Google seemed to concentrate on Windows so much concerning their own browser offering. Granted, Windows is the most-used desktop operating system in...

Since Google Chrome has a new version I decided to download and check it out to see what’s new. Here’s what happened: First, on attempt to load in a YouTube video, the plugin crashed. Not a very good start. After that I had to manually go into my Task Manager to stop the browser processes because it would not shut down on its own. Then I found out...

As you may or may not know, Google has its own web browser and it’s called Chrome. When first released it was done so in beta form, but now it’s been at version 1 (out of beta) for a little while now, so I figured I’d give it another shot. This version of Chrome is 1.0.154.36 (see screen shot below). I am running it on Windows XP Professional...

Giving credit where credit is due, the GOOG updated their Terms of Service for the Chrome browser. Section 11 now reads: 11. Content license from you 11.1 You retain copyright and any other rights you already hold in Content which you submit, post or display on or through, the Services.For those not aware, it previously stated something that literally...

Everybody has been talking about Google Chrome this week. First they announce using a comic book on Labor Day (slow news day), then they launch yesterday and it seemed everybody and their family was giving it a try. Some have gone so far as to make it their new default browser. Some even uninstalled Firefox. Others, still, have proclaimed it to be a Windows...

Google Chrome is a web browser very recently released by Google. While Dave concentrated more on the “guts” of the browser, I concentrated more on its usability. What I discovered is that while Gmail and Yahoo! Mail work, the full version of Hotmail does not. The bookmark import from Firefox on initial install didn’t work. There’s also...
