How firefox protects your password?

Firefox gives you option to setup a master password to make your passwords (stored in its password manager) secure from others who have access to your computer.

How chrome protects your passwords stored by its password manager?

Google chrome's password manager

Like other browsers Google Chrome also offers to save passwords with other information when a login form is submitted. Chrome will store passwords as plain text which makes all login information available to everyone who can access your computer. But Chrome also added another feature which protects your passwords with a master password.

Google Chrome 29 got some new features

New google chrome 29 got some new features in it.
Two days ago Google released new version of Google Chrome (29.0.1547.57). I did not realize when I got my Chrome updated because of its silent updater but I found some new features that made me think I did something wrong with chrome. Its updated omnibox seems little bit weird but now it can show those links at top that you visited recently (show results relevant to those you've visited). They also integrated desktop notifications in Chrome (Google's rich notifications) for Mac users.

Chrome's extensions in Opera and Opera's in Chrome
Earlier I posted about changes that opera 15 got. New Opera 15 is now based on Chromium engine (Chrome is also using it). Latest versions of Opera and Chrome have too many common things. Because of same rendering engine now you can install Chrome’s extensions in Opera and Opera’s in Chrome. Installing chrome’s extensions in opera is easier.

Open PDF files without Adobe Reader


Adobe reader alternatives.

PDF file format was created by adobe and in beginning adobe reader was the only program that was able to handle PDF files. It had long series of security flaws that’s why this was not good for use. Its security and speed is improved but some users are still not satisfied.
Now there are lots of free alternatives for adobe reader that everyone can use. I think now there is no need of adobe reader or alternatives of it because now browsers can open PDF files.

Which browser is best for future websites? (HTML5 Comparison)

Which browser is best for future websites? (HTML5 Comparison) main

Mostly users of windows are using Internet explorer, users of Linux are using Firefox, users of Mac are using safari and users of Chromebook are using Google Chrome. They are using these browsers because these are default browsers in their Operating systems (OS).
Mostly different people install all of these above mentioned browsers to test them. Because they want to know which browser is better for them? Different browsers have different speeds for opening a website. I've tried all of these but my default browser is Chrome due to its features. But I have installed Firefox and Opera too. Sometimes for changed interface and for some other purposes I use both these.
