The face-off between the most prominent browsers on the market is not only a question of audience and uptake, but also one of security. As browsers are often a preferred attack vector, developers aim to bulletproof the product as much as possible. As far as the browser market is concerned, Internet Explorer, Firefox, Safari and Opera pretty much dive the users, with IE having the dominant position, as a result of the Windows-near monopoly, but with Mozilla’s open source product coming hard from behind. Safari is Apple’s proprietary browser and a component of the Mac OS X operating system, also made available for the 32-bit and 64-bit Windows XP and Windows Vista platforms in 2006.

The main parts of an Opera widget are a file named index.html and a config.xml file. The index.html file can control external files, such as Flash animations or external Javascripts or could contain a Javascript in it, for example.

Opera, Safari, and Netscape users complain that it’s missing many of their favorite features. And the social networking gurus point to the powerful social networking features Flock boasts and Firefox lacks. However, all these users overlook one of the most powerful features of Firefox: support for third-party add-ons, which can make emulating the features of other browsers extremely simple. Read More»

Searching Google from a command-line is not quite as easy as it sounds because the search giant prefers to make you visit the page or at least use a search program. Usually, the users are searching Google straight from the company’s official webpage or from the search box included in the their browser. Firefox has one, Opera also has one, almost every browser has a Google search box. But, what if you’re able to search the Internet using Google’ technology by typing a simple command?
