… and extensions won’t ease the pain.Browsers have evolved to become the central way we do pretty much anything: shopping, scheduling, invoicing, monitoring, calling, texting, reading, watching, listening, writing, sharing: you name it. Along the way, as billions of people were shifting to the browser as their main #work tool, it started to show some weaknesses.At Station, our sole & only focus is to ease our user’s workday. As part of that, we’re trying to identify the small defects in the browser that could help us refine our product.We quickly realised that one of the best way to identify potential improvements in modern #browsers is by looking at their most popular extensions. After all, if so many people are proactively choosing to add a third party component to their main work tool, (...)

All links to Brave Browser downloads in this article are connected to me.I got interested in Brave initially because of the #cryptocurrency aspect of the browser — I had been exploring different applications available today that leverage cryptocurrency. After playing with it for five minutes, though, I discovered that I found a great alternative to Chrome. The best way I know how to describe Brave is that it’s Chrome on steroids. The user experience of Brave mimics Chrome in every way — you can even install Chrome extensions on it. But it takes a step beyond the (...)

The Microsoft Edge Browser Edges Into the Bug TerritoryA security researcher working at Google recently discovered a high-severity vulnerability on the Microsoft Edge web browser. The flaw could allow hackers to access the victim’s sensitive information without their knowledge.Although the security loophole has been patched, it points to the need of always keeping your programs up-to-date and avoid visiting malicious websites.How the bug was discoveredJake Archibald, a developer who works at Google, exposed this bug accidently and named it “Wavethrough.” It is so-named because the browser security bug involves playing a wave audio, which an attacker could compromise to steal sensitive users’ data.Archibald discovered the bug a few months ago and has since published the details on his blog (...)

Over the course of the past month, #facebook users around the world have been panicking in response to the news that the online social media and networking service has been collecting call history and SMS data from Android users. Many have even made the radical decision to leave the platform all together. While the latest incident seems to have only effected Android users, it served as a radical reminder that our information on the internet is not as secure as we’d like to believe.If you, like many others, aren’t quite ready to say goodbye to the popular social network, this is still a great opportunity to reevaluate the way you engage and share your data with the online community.

As a fledgling web developer back at the turn of the century, I worked at a major telecoms company in London. The machine I used in the year 2001 was an 800 Mhz Pentium, running Windows 95, and the browser war back then was between Internet Explorer, and Netscape Navigator. Even then the browser of choice for web developers, and many casual users, was Netscape. For me the reason was that the first web browser I had ever used was X-Mosaic on a Sun SPARCstation, and given that Marc Andreessen had then moved on from Mosaic to Netscape, I had a certain degree of customer loyalty. More importantly, Netscape just…worked better. For me, and for many others, Netscape beat IE into a distant second.However, Microsoft woke up to the fact that the Internet might just be an interesting technological (...)

Firefox rapid-release scheme vs. enterprise processes | nota-bene.org

I know it’s a cheesy title for a post, but I couldn’t find better. In this article I try to explain the possible outcome of the new rapid-release scheme regarding the integration of Firefox in bigger enterprises.

J’adore ^^ :

You can cringe and say that things were not developed correctly from the start like you-and-me geeks-who-don’t-sleep-at-night do1, but the truth is this: most teams, most companies above a certain size will produce a legacy code that is not trivial to take into account when the environment evolves.

#Microsoft est content car IE9 consomme moins d’énergie que les autres #browsers, et va donc sauver la planète

Power consumption is an important consideration in building a modern browser and one objective of Internet Explorer 9 is to responsibly lead the industry in power requirements.

Note When configured to load Intranet pages in Compatibility View, Internet Explorer makes an exception for pages loaded using the localhost address or a loopback address. Pages loaded using one of these techniques are displayed in IE8 mode when the <!DOCTYPE> directive specifies a standards based document type.

Timing and Synchronization in JavaScript - Opera Developer Community

Timing issues are the source of some of the most devious bugs in JavaScript applications. Problems that never show up during development might surface when the application is used by an end-user on a slow computer or with low bandwidth. Such issues may also be intermittent and difficult to reproduce.
