If you are planning to build or rebuild a site this year you may wonder at some point which browsers you should support. If not, you should! Just looking at your new design in IE 6 is no guarantee it works and behaves the same in any other browser.
Not that long ago the browser shortlist […]

Firefox: “The choice of criminals”
Posted on Thursday, November 10th, 2005

Internet Explorer hides nothing from police and other investigators who examine PCs to discover which sites the user has visited, according to a class held Wednesday at the annual training meeting of the High Tech Crime Investigation Association. Investigators know the location […]

In the past year this little app shook up the browser world. Among some of the things accomplished are, in no particular order:
Grab a larger than 10% marketshare. Exceeding the ‘promise’ made at launch.
Wake up […]

Firefox & BitTorrent
Posted on Tuesday, August 30th, 2005
Opera supports it already. And now it seems it may be incorporated in Firefox as an extension. The FirePuddle extension is currently under development and it will be some time before a version for the general public will be available. Probably somewhere around the release of the next Firefox installment?

IE’s dead, hail the new King!
Posted on Saturday, June 25th, 2005
… and the new king is ‘Longhorn‘!
Well, not exactly, it’s RSS!
I’ve watched the video, scanned Technorati, clicked on TechCrunch, taken a look at the IE Blog, re-visited C|Net, shivered at the Creative Commons Blog, read the last Gnomedex’r story, …

The end of IE 5
Posted on Wednesday, June 15th, 2005
I’ve given up on IE 4 and Netscape 4 a while ago. Meaning I won’t do anything extra for them anymore. They’ll just have to take the page as-is, no unnecessary or fatal script errors though, but that’s where it ends. If it doesn’t work or looks horrible, too bad.
So how about IE 5? Will […]
