“10:50 Opera is the fastest browser on almost all speed tests. We designed Opera 10:50 to ease its function and users can get more advantages when accessing the web,” he said as quoted by Boilesen Info World, Wednesday (3/3/2010).

There are other additional features in this browser which is a more complete design and private browsing. Opera presents a new menu button that replaces the traditional menu bar, making it easier for users to gain access to the features of Opera single.

“This browser is also developing support for HTML5 and Cascading Style Sheets 3, making it easier for web designers to build interesting applications based on open technology,” explained Boilesen.

Block Websites From Appearing In The Firefox History

For some time Firefox users had the option to enable a private browsing mode if they wanted to visit websites without leaving traces of them on the computer system. They also had the option to remove individual history information from the web browser.

History Block adds a third option for Firefox users as it enables them to block specific hosts from appearing in the web browser’s history. And history in this case means the standard history, the download manager and the recently opened tabs list.

The Firefox add-on is relatively easy to use with the exception of managing existing blocked hosts. New hosts can be added either from the menu of the add-on or more comfortably by right-clicking on the page and selecting Block This from the available options. More »

Improve Firefox Private Browsing With Private Browsing Window Add-on

The Mozilla developers have added private browsing to the Firefox web browser since version 3.5. This basically allows a Firefox users to switch to a mode where no records of the web browsing session will be stored on the computer system. The way it is implemented is different from the incognito mode in the Google Chrome web browser. Firefox users can only use the private browsing mode if they agree to close all open windows and tabs in the web browser which means that there is not a way to work with a normal Firefox session and one private browsing session in another window.

This behavior is changed by the Firefox add-on Private Browsing Window which – as the name suggests – provides the means to launch a private browsing session in a new window without closing the standard session first. More »
