Yay! Browser market share numbers. This rather unexciting topic is oddly enough one of our favorite topics. On that note, Zdnet has released a new chart (above) that shows browser market share over the last year. Specifically, Chrome is up 6% along with Safari’s ~2.25%. Meanwhile Mozilla’s Firefox and Microsoft’s IE browsers continue to bleed users with the latter now falling to 53.7% overall. While IE still holds over half of the world’s...
We’re really digging the new look Google’s online services are taking with the darker navigation bar up top as well as the contrasting notification bubble for Google+, though we wish we could get notifications for other things. Oh, wait a minute. You can! Lifehacker found a sweet little extension/plugin called “Google+ Enhancer” that adds the Google+ notification bubble to Gmail, Reader and Google Calender as well.

While the changelog and feature list for Firefox 5 isn’t yet live, we know what’s in store: improved...
Besides a revamped interface and several new important features, the latest WordPress.com update has brought one other feature — the death of IE 6 support. The reasoning is no different than countless other online outfits whom cite increasingly complex code to make web pages display properly in IE 6 as well as reduced functionality in said browser. No matter how reliant a particular person or company is, there has to come a time when we say good-bye and move on to...
We don’t have any major bones to pick with the iPhone’s in-house Safari browser, though we’re certainly willing to try other options. One such option is Opera Mini 6. Besides pure blinding speed, the newly released Opera Mini 6 adds Retina Display and optimized iPad support, the ability to open pages in the background, social sharing of content (Facebook, Twitter, & “MyOpera”), a refreshed UI, and better pinch-to-zoom and panning...
