One of the lead developers behind the Firefox browser has accused Google of abusing its powerful position in the search market to promote its growing range of products.
Search giant Google has started offering its browser toolbar for Firefox, in addition to new Web-to-SMS and automatic search term completion extensions.
Google is poised to release a version of its toolbar for the Firefox browser, according to information sent to developers of an open source toolbar alternative.
Google has hired the lead programmer of the Firefox Web browser, the newest step in the search engine powerhouse's encroachment on Microsoft's turf.
Google introduced Chrome in part because it wants faster browsing and the richer Web applications that speed will unlock. So how does Chrome actually stack up?
Turns out that the "developer preview" of Google's latest creation, Google Wave, is not as open as one would expect, with the preview only being open to attendees of Google's I/O conference but there is another way to see it in action. And forget wanting to use IE6 with it.
A rash of creativity has overcome browser vendors recently in a completely unexpected place: the content of the new tab page.
IE may be the quickest browser to load pages, but this is not a 100m dash; seems like someone has forgotten to tell Microsoft that there is another 300m of JavaScript to go until this race is over.
Firefox is still king when it comes to daily work on the tubes, despite the steady increase in the buzz surrounding the open-source Webkit project, on which Safari and Google Chrome are based.
The choice and use of the new video tag in HTML 5 is one of the more explosive sticking points in the evolving standard. Which codecs should browsers use? Why even have a video tag at all when Flash works well currently? Will anyone use it even if it becomes a standard?
Sorry if it sounds like I'm drinking the Google Kool-Aid here, but I have switched from Mozilla Firefox to Google Chrome as my default browser for the very reason Google's executives said we should: speed.
Firefox 3.5 forges ahead with strong developer support, but most improvements for casual users will probably strike them as minor.
The internet has exploded in a single, joyous, mass-hallucination called Chrome. Apparently it's the fastest browser ever and will solve a myriad of problems from slowness within Google Spreadsheet to possibly creating an acceptable carbon trading scheme.
We cast an eye over Google Wave's developer preview to see the world of wavelets, blips and robots.
Mozilla Firefox 2 is a winner, beating Microsoft Internet Explorer 7 on security, features, and overall cool factor.
When Google introduced a Web browser earlier this fall, the debut was accompanied by much expectation as well as by much skepticism. But Chrome is starting to win over more converts -- including CNET News' Stephen Shankland, who explains why on today's CNET News Daily Debrief with Charles Cooper.
Windows 7 will be code-versioned as Windows 7.0, won't it? On this week's Club Builder we see that it isn't so, as well as get Steve Ballmer thoughts on Vista deployment; plus we see some new HTML5 tricks.
Any other name would be better than Ubuntu's latest. Club Builder this week examines some alternative names, looks over Google Chrome's heritage, and a new Seinfeld ad for Microsoft debuts.
In this episode of Club Builder: a new Firefox plug-in makes browsing more powerful, computer viruses enter orbit, and Microsoft gets a three-way serve of soapboxing.
Brendan Eich, CTO of Mozilla, talks about the race for the fastest browser engine. Google, Microsoft and Apple are all competing with Mozilla. The competition, he says, is good for users and developers.
If only for the speed, lightness of being and security alone, Firefox remains our Editors' Choice for best internet browser.
Web 2.0, with its complex sites and rich Ajax applications, is an increasingly demanding platform for a browser. In this review feature, we look at how the leading browsers measure up.
Developers make good stress testers, and the initial Wave service has had a lot of testing in the last few months. We take a ride on the wave, which should be opening to a wider beta program at the end of September.
Mozilla Firefox 2 is a winner, beating Microsoft Internet Explorer 7 on security, features, and overall cool factor and deserving our Editors' Choice award.
This free app has more features than the most recent version of Internet Explorer.
