Google Chrome to Support Greasemonkey
This is a huge win for Chrome users like myself. Greasemonkey is an awesome platform within a platform, that supports userscripts. I’ve been a huge fan of Google Chrome on Windows, as it’s been the fastest browser I’ve ever used. I did a comparison of Chrome vs Internet Explorer, and Chrome definitely won. The idea [...]
full storyEverything Microsoft is Doing Wrong
Google Chrome was launched with some minor success just nine months ago, in September 2008. Initially, it was only available for Windows users. Disappointing for Mac and Linux users? Sure. End of the world? No. Google Chrome for Mac is now available, but still fairly buggy. When Firefox was announced, was Microsoft scared that they [...]

full storyA Lucky Chance, Firefox for the win!

full storyFirefox Extension Review: MeasureIt
Operating System: Windows XP SP2 Browser: Firefox 2.0.0.2 Extension Name: MeasureIt 0.3.6 Homepage: MeasureIt MeasureIt is a strong and useful extension. I say strong because it’s simple but very powerful. MeasureIt does one thing: measures things on the page. So why on earth would that be useful in Firefox? For someone like me it’s very useful. Before, I would find myself taking a screenshot and then measuring it in Photoshop. But now I can just click the little icon in the bottom left, measure it and it’s done. Often I will need to know the size for an image I’m creating or for the size of an ad banner or just anything that I’m doing in Firefox. It’s a simple yet powerful extension. If you ever find yourself measuring things in Firefox often or even just sometimes, it’s worth the install. So head over to Mozilla.org and download it today.
