Epiphany: An efficient, but different, web browser

,----[ Quote ]
| There are a few things Epiphany handles 
| differently than most browsers. One of 
| those is bookmarks. With Epiphany you will 
| not find a bookmark toolbar, but the way 
| it does bookmarks is rather interesting. 
| In this article I will show you how to 
| work with bookmarks in Epiphany as well as 
| keeping this little browser from crashing 
| on you every few seconds.

The New, Need-Driven Browser Choice Model

,----[ Quote ]
| The new need-based model for choosing 
| browsers has come about through 
| incremental changes that have been going 
| on for years. For one thing, many more 
| people are using web applications as 
| opposed to the local-only apps that 
| dominated the scene for years. If you live 
| in web applications all day, you're very 
| likely to get a big efficiency boost from 
| top Javascript performance. Javascript is 
| central to how many web applications work, 
| and Google Chrome, in particular has been 
| acing most Javascript benchmark tests for 
| a long time now.

Icelandic data centre allays fears of environmental concerns

,----[ Quote ]
| While debate has persisted for some years 
| now over whether Opera will make its 
| product open source, currently the browser 
| remains closed. Given the company's 
| competing position against Firefox, some 
| sources suggest that this is the next 
| logical move for the company as Opera 
| lacks the open source 'extensions' found 
| with Firefox.

IE 9 Preview 3 is still really slowâ

,----[ Quote ]
| That was the answer to your question. âIs it
| really fair to be bagging on something thatâs
| not even released?â. Yes and no. Normally no,
| but when Microsoft is already lying about it
| being faster than the speed of light on a day
| that God did a line of coke, Iâd say they
| made the damned thing fair game already.

The Growing Open-vs.-Proprietary Rift Between Google and Mozilla

,----[ Quote ]
| Cade Metz at The Register quotes Mozilla's
| vice president of products, Jay Sullivan,
| as saying that Mozilla has no intent to
| bundle Firefox with Adobe Flash, as Google
| has said it will do with Chrome. Instead,
| Mozilla will pursue web standards,
| including HTML5. Sullivan tells The
| Register:
|
|     "These native apps are just little
|     black boxes in a webpage. That's not
|     something we're pursuing. We really
|     believe in HTML, and this is where we
|     want to focus."
