Flock announced earlier this week the release of an Eco-Edition of their “social browser:”

With the growing interest in environmental topics, Flock’s Eco-Edition browser is the best of Green Content across the Internet, bundled into one single download, continuing to deliver fresh and relevant content daily. Flock will donate 10% of the proceeds of the Eco-Edition browser at the end of 2008, and as a recognition of the power of community to create change, will allow users of the Eco-Edition to select the recipient of this donation.

The environmentally-conscious version of the browser is available for Windows, Mac and Linux and can be downloaded directly from the Eco-Edition website.

Just caught this via Mashable:

Mozilla has a new Firefox extension, called Personas, that makes it a bit easier to add themes to your browser. Built from a prototype that was discussed and tested earlier this year, Personas aims to extend an option for custom browsers without the need to code. They also have the ability to incorporate online components, supporting HTML, CSS, PNG, JPG, SVG, Javascript and Canvas. Personas also offer real time updates during the creation and editing process, so you can see exactly what you’re getting into. Other feature include the ability to select a Persona from the dynamic menus, and designers can add/update themes at any time without updating any software.

You can get all the details from the Mozilla Labs Blog, and if you want to play around with Personas, you can download it from the Mozilla Add-ons site.

The Maxthon skinning contest has been extended to October 31st:

We decide to extend the deadline of our worldwide Maxthon skinning contest to October 31st. Since in the US, school is back in session, people are done with vacations and are back at their PCs. We might get a lot more beautiful skins from these guys.

A post has already been made to the Maxthon forums, and our partner WinCustomize would like to extend this contest as well.

Hope you guys could submit more skins to us.
