Around the Browsersphere #14

Posted on January 1st, 2010 | 2 Comments »

I’ve been doing my best to keep my finger on the pulse of the browsersphere over on Twitter, but you know you’re not getting the real deal until we go “around the browsersphere.”

General

Chrome

Firefox

Internet Explorer

Opera

Minor Players

There’s a lot more to cover, but that should hold you over until 2010. ;)

Happy New Year, everyone.

Digg Watch #4

Posted on June 22nd, 2008 | No Comments »

It’s that time again.  Since the last update, major versions of both Opera and Firefox have been released.  Only one of the two has been dominating in terms of Digg presence, though.

It’s been a few months since we caught up with the popular web browser-related submissions on Digg, so let’s do something about that:

flarebrowser

Posted on January 2nd, 2008 | No Comments »

I just came across a new minor player I hadn’t yet heard of called flarebrowser via Digg.  According to Digg and the browser’s page on Google Code, flarebrowser is a simple browser for Mac OS X that focuses on speed and elegance.  It was created by an Irish student and was apparently “once winner of the JSBench browser speed test back in 2004.”

AdSense Notifier for Firefox

Posted on December 19th, 2007 | No Comments »

I was cruising Digg and spotted a link to MDZakri.com, which in turn pointed me toward the AdSense Notifier extension for Firefox.  Apparently, it allows you to track your Google AdSense earnings in real time in the Firefox status bar.  Seems like it could be a pretty useful extension for those who are making more money from AdSense than I am ;)

Lists of Firefox Alternatives

Posted on November 11th, 2007 | 3 Comments »

I ran across two lists of Firefox alternatives tonight, the first of which is War of the Web Browsers: The Underdogs.  It covers Avant, Flock and Opera, while Download Dispatch, Weekend Edition covers those plus Maxthon and a browser I hadn’t yet heard of: Slim Browser.

Mozilla needn’t be too worried, though.  As this Digg post points out, Firefox still tops Google’s list.

Digg Watch #1

Posted on October 14th, 2007 | No Comments »

If you don’t let a single front page item on Digg pass you by unnoticed (like me), you’re likely to run into quite a few browser-related diggs over time.  Let’s take a look at some that have shown up over the course of the past month.

As you can see, Digg is pretty heavy on Firefox, but you got a little Safari and Konqueror in there, too (the IE stuff probably doesn’t count ;) ).
