With media these days being produced and released in widescreen formats, it’s not surprising that most people would choose a widescreen LCD over a normal aspect ratio LCD (notice the fat black bands at the top and bottom of your screen?). This switch was further accelerated with widescreen LCD prices offered at relatively competitive prices [...]

With the Taiwan’s earthquake and international links going down incidents, access to the world wide web has become much slower for most of the users in this region. The temporary workaround is to configure and use a proxy server in your web browser. A proxy server is a computer that offers a computer network service [...]

Have the Tab Mix Plus extension installed in your Firefox and recently encountered weird issues where links which open in new window/tab opens in your current tab instead?

Shockw@ve used to accuse me of Opera fanboyism. Admitly though, I’ve always loved Opera Browser, since moving over from IE/Netscape, preferring it to Firefox despite the latter’s popularity.

I’ve been using Firefox 2.0 since it was at Beta 2 a few weeks ago, and I am happy to say it has been relatively stable. I had it running for nearly a week before it got cranky, which is quite a long way since the days when I had to restart it every day [...]

How about using a web browser that was created by a hacking group and uses technology backed by the Electronic Frontier Foundation (a digital rights group) to surf the web anonyously for those paranoids out there sound? We’ll the author, casting the conditioning built-in warnings in respect to using applications created by hackers, did just that for the sake [...]

Internet Explorer (IE) has been largely synonymous to browsing the internet ever since Microsoft decided to bundle it with Windows 95 operating system. The much heralded browser wars between Microsoft and Netscape accelerated progressive innovation of new features to the web browser which ended with the demise of Netscape’s Navigator browser. Unfortunately, ever since Microsoft [...]
