Social networking used to be frowned upon when it first started penetrating our lives (it still is). But now people have realized that it isn’t entirely a waste of time and does have considerable value for every party involved, provided it used appropriately. If you are a constant watcher of your social networking profile, you [...]
Among all browsers, I love using Mozilla Firefox the most. The reason is straightforward – it gives me a lot of flexibility to customize things the way I like them. Of course, it being not as bad a resource hog as Chrome (in my experience of using both) also helps. If you are a power [...]
In my university the lecturers publish all the class notes on an online portal which we can download on personal devices for using later. The problem was that I had to download these documents to all the devices using the portal which was very time taking. As a solution I started using portable Dropbox app. [...]
There are times when I have to open a new tab in my browser while reading an article just to look up the meaning of a word I am not sure about. The Google search inline frame which shows up the meaning right on the search page might have eased some of the work for [...]
The only browser that my college’s shared computer provides in the Windows environment is Internet Explorer. Don’t ask me why, but you can imagine the level of difficulty I have to face while working on it. Being a guest user one cannot install a standalone browser on any of these computers but thanks to portable [...]
If you are someone who spends a lot of time on the internet using various web services then I am sure you have a way of saving usernames and passwords. You could be letting your browser do it or may be you are using a password manager for the purpose. But you still have to [...]
I highly favor Chrome over Firefox when I am working on my computer but when it comes to Android, Chrome is highly disappointing. Other than the advantage of syncing the computer bookmarks and running sessions, I can’t seem to find one good reason as to why I should use it. (Ok, may be for private [...]
If you are a Firefox user you must have noticed the browser response to a Backspace stroke on the keyboard. If you have, you would know that the action takes you to the previous page on that tab i.e. the action is equivalent to clicking on the browser back button. Now, the feature can be [...]
Sometimes you may forget the password of an account. However, if you had been asking your browser to remember the username and password for your account, you might just be able to log in. That’s because the username and the password are pre-filled in a login form if the browser has them stored. In such [...]
Ease of accessibility is what people look for in software and web interfaces these days. Same is the case with browsers. Now, I love to use Firefox and love the way I can tweak its settings according to my requirements. However, what I do not like is that in comparison to Google Chrome, Firefox opens [...]
We have seen many tricks using which you can delete history from Chrome and Firefox browsers and ways to stop further recording of your activity to maintain privacy. Talking in general, most of us tend to delete the entire history in order to take care of just a few websites we’ve visited. Clearing everything from [...]
We have got into the habit of playing with our browsers and in that attempt we usually end up adding many browser helper objects (BHO) in the form of add-ons, plug-ins and toolbars. While some of them are really helpful, many add to the overhead making our browsers slow. And then, there are instances when [...]
A website gets known not only by the content it hosts but also by its readability and the color/theme. The fact is that an interface should be self-adjustable with all sorts of devices and should look visually appealing to people. However, despite all the efforts put in by the developers, there could be a chance [...]
Talking about the files we browse online, there are some type of files that you always want to download, few which you want to open in the browser using a browser plugin and then there are others which you love to open in a particular desktop application. For example, I love to play MP3 files [...]
