Browser Wars 2010

Josh — Tue, 08 Feb 2011 17:21:52 +0000

Very interesting trend!

IE6 is almost dead (like Android 1.5) at <4%
IE7 is close behind at <10%
IE8 is faltering at ~26%

Firefox is wavering at ~31%

Chrome is on a steady rise and in 3rd place at 14%! Go Chrome, go! (Sorry, I’m a bit biased.)

Safari: Things to Know

Josh — Thu, 07 Oct 2010 22:05:14 +0000

I wrote up this quick guide for a friend who needed to switch away from Google Chrome (for some strange reason), so I thought I’d post it here for the world!

Installing Safari

http://www.apple.com/safari/download/
Choose “Safari 5.0.2 for Windows XP, Vista or 7″ (not Safari 5.0.2+QuickTime for Windows XP, Vista or 7)
Uncheck “Keep me up to date with Apple news, software updates, and the latest information on products and services.”
Do not give them your email address, unless you really, really want to…?
Click “Download Now”
Open SafariSetup.exe after it finishes downloading. (Click “Run” if it prompts you.)
1. Accept the terms.
2. Uncheck “Install Bonjour for Windows”.
3. Click “Install”.
4. Click “Finish”.
5. Uncheck “Always perform this check.” and click “No”.

For Your Information

Safari opens very slowly each first time you open it (after each computer restart).
Safari doesn’t do well with multiple tabs open at the same time.
Safari has the 2nd slowest (after Firefox) JavaScript environment.
Safari uses a moderately heavy amount of memory with a single tab open. (Which can cause system slowness.)

Just finished two cups of coffee with dinner. Hope I can get some work done before I fall asleep! #

I just noticed that @GoogleCalendar updated their favicon. I don’t remember what it was before, but it looks pretty cool now! #
I just found some awesome icons (CC-SA 3 licensed)! http://bit.ly/lUKUY designed by @rogieking #
