Google Chrome – Not living up to the Hype
Feb 23rd
I had noticed a couple of problems when using my otherwise fine Firefox 3.6, one been the pause when you first go to a page and the other was the browser crashing when trying to view Justin.TV Archives function (when it got to the end of the segment).
I was tempted to try Google Chrome after everybody told me how good it was, faster, better and all round amazing. Could I take Chrome and make it my main browsing platform? Had it come a long way since I last tried it? Did it use a lot less memory and was it more secure?

Jan 23rd
Just a heads up really, Firefox finally gets updated to version 3.6, adds Personas (Themes) and many speed improvements. Another one updated of late is is Avast - this is now at version 5, includes new voices and such. Seems the Auto Update fails to grab this new version so you are going to need to download and upgrade.

Save Complete – Firefox Addon
Dec 28th
There is a very good plugin for firefox called Save Complete which allows you in Firefox to right click the page your viewing and save it – complete with graphics, js files and anything else (plus css). Why is this useful? well imagine you had a nice looking Wordpress theme and wanted the rest of your site to look the same – with this you can view the demo of the theme and do a complete save then you edit the results in say Dreamweaver and make yourself a good looking page without all the hard work.
As it says on the plugin page:
Saves a webpage completely, providing a better alternative to the flawed built-in save functionality of Firefox.
Give it a whirl today – it’s just what the doctor ordered.
