Google Chrome just released just 30 minutes back i guess( while i was writing). Actually I was holly shit when Google announced that they where making there own open source browse, considering Google has been supporting Firefox for quite a while now.
Google Chrome is based on the WebKit engine and by the initial 5 minutes with the browser, its pretty awesome considering it just a beta. Good thing is that the browser runs separate processes per TAB to ensure security and stability. This way if one of the tab crashes accidentally, it won’t influence your work in other tabs. While running multiple tabs each tab was consuming about 6 to 10mb depending on the website content, flashier websites tend to consume more ram.

For those of you who don’t know what Drop.io is, it is a service that allows sharing of documents and files. With its simple interface and image-scaled uploads, its become popular with heavy file sharers. Now the company has decided to offer drag & drop uploads on Mozilla Firefox that will make things easier and faster.
How do you do that?
Create a ‘drop’ area at drop.io. Select the file from your desktop or any webpage and drag it to an existing drop.io drop area. The file will get uploaded or if it is small, it will get converted for an easy one click access.

As you would know I’m the owner, webmaster and everything of www.thinktechno.com. Most of my free time goes to optimizing the website and other things. Optimizing in a sense I try to fix the problems associated with fastening, code cleaning, and checking the website with multiple website.
Problem is that almost all the versions of Firefox have no problems rendering my website, even opera does exceptionally well. But Internet explorer always gives me headaches. A minor stylesheet changes drops columns, sidebars, and do all sorts of crazy things. Add to that windows won’t allow installing multiple versions of IE.

Tab browsing for Firefox is almost perfect for most average to intermediate users. But for a geek everything has to be picture perfect. Here are few Tab extensions that extracts more out of the already lean and mean Firefox browser.
Tab Mix Plus
Tab Mix is probably the most used tab extension. Most of the cool features came with Firefox 2. It includes such features as duplicating tabs, controlling tab focus, tab clicking options, undo closed tabs and windows, plus much more. Also the session manager gives it total control over crashes.
