Internet Browsers

A foxy little browser that lets me feel safe on the internet!

Advantages: -
Disadvantages: -

I've been using Firefox for a few years now, and I have to say, I love it . I was perfectly happy with internet explorer - I'd never had any problems with it really, or any major issues with security . Then, a few years ago, odd things started happening to people who played the same online game as me - their accounts were being compromised at an alarming rate, resulting in them losing characters they had spent years building up . The hackings were ...
...then sell off the characters in game currency, and often the characters themselves, for cash . These hackings were traced to certain websites that were downloading scripts onto PCs to log keystrokes . In threads discussing the problem on forums, one recommendation popped up with stunning regularity - switch to Firefox, and get Noscript and Adblock add-ons to increase security. This I promptly did - and it was a simple as going to the firefox website, ...

Is this a homepage friend?

Advantages: you can now search for charity
Disadvantages: no more personal payments from searches, unreliable payments

I guess after over a year of use I should get around to making my views on this search engine known. I originally signed up when the site was known as mysearchfunds, a few months after I signed up it was renamed myhomepagesfriends, but the site itself is called myhpf. The site is designed to be a search engine with a difference, you get paid for the searches you do. So how well does it work? When you sign up you get the option to install it as one ...
...myhpf box is the default search it will display your name so that you know it is the right box. Or you can set the myhpf page as one of your homepages. It originally the searches were an amalgam of several search engines, but it then converted to just use the results from yahoo, this means that the results aren't quite as good as those from google but for most people the difference is slight. So how much do they pay? You would find on the site no ...

Google Chrome - Review after long term use

Advantages: Loads of built in features, small space used at the top, fast boot up time, customisable templates
Disadvantages: none!

Google Chrome is a free, and very fast internet browser. It is, according to tests from Apple, the second fastest browser to boot up. Instead of having a usual homepage, you get a page with images of your most visited websites. This, in my opinion, is a much better way to get where you want, quicker. At first, Google Chrome had a few problems with various parts of websites, including Facebook. However, after one update, most of these issues were ...
...is still very handy. Google Chrome also allows you to search with Google from the address bar. You can simply type in your search query, and then hey presto, you are on Google. In this feature, it also has the search suggestions, meaning if you type in "macb" it will come up with suggestions such as "macbook" and "macbook pro 15 inch". This speeds up searching considerably. Another fantastic part of the browser, is the fact that if a website you ...

Review of Google Chrome

Good but no better than the competition

Advantages: Fast and easy to use
Disadvantages: Not 100% relaible

I'm not that big on technology and not that computer savvy so please don't expect a technical analysis here. You're not going to get one. If you want one, there are plenty on this site that offer good technical comparisons, even if you don't really know what their talking about. I'm going to come at this as a layman. I have been through a number of web browsers in the past and have listened to advice. I was initially recommended Internet Explorer ...
...and have numerous 'page not found' messages despite the fact that the webpage existed and was fine. Then Firefox which worked better but now has issues with some e-mail sites such as hotmail and gmail. So, bored of listening, I wnet maverick and picked one myself. That one was Opera. Nice title I thought. Indeed, not a great criteria for selection but I had nothing else to go on. So, is it good and does it work better than the others. Well, no. The ...
