Browsersphere

I created a rather lengthy post over at my personal blog tonight titled How to Contribute to Firefox.  Rather than cross-post it here, I figured I’d at least share the link, since it’s probably relevant to a lot of the readers here (or at least I hope it is).

I think I saw this once before, but I just caught it again via Digg and figured I’d post a link here.

An SVG document detailing a timeline of web browser development since 1991.

Pretty cool stuff!

When it comes to web browsers, there’s no shortage of tips and tricks available to make your web browsing experience easier, more enjoyable or more efficient. The following are just a few I’ve found on the web as of late:

• Someone figured out a different way to navigate back and forth between web pages in both Firefox and Internet Explorer and posted a video to show us how.
• Mahalo has a feature on how to delete web browser cookies that covers the process in Firefox, Internet Explorer, Safari and Opera.
• Asa Dotzler explains how Firefox users can add words to Firefox’s spell-check dictionary.
• Over at Opera Watch, Daniel Goldman demonstrates how one can increase the quality of images in Opera Mini.

For as long as I can remember, I’ve been obsessed with web browsers. I was downloading new versions of Netscape Navigator Gold and Internet Explorer over ultra-slow modem connections when I was a teenager, and I’ve continued to follow web browsers’ evolution, including the development of the rendering engines underneath their hoods.

Browsersphere is a new endeavor for me, a central location in which I hope not only to store all of my web browser-related findings, but also to provide a useful resource for others with similar interests to follow over time.

Let’s see what happens.
