Ubiquity Gets an Update: A Prettier and Faster Command Line for Firefox
Ubiquity, the experimental Firefox addon that gives your browser a context sensitive command-line, just received a nice update from Mozilla. In this new version, Mozilla has mostly worked on making Ubiquity faster, but also added a new look and the ability to use different skins. The plugin now also sorts commands by relevancy, based on how often you use a given command.
Browzmi: New Firefox Extension Turns Browsing Into a More Social Activity
Even in this age of social media, browsing the web is still a solitary activity, even though a couple of services like Socialbrowse, Kiobo, or Me.dium have tried to to turn browsing into a more social experience.
Another social browsing service we like a lot is Browzmi. When we first looked at Browzmi earlier this year, it was basically a browser inside of a browser, which was a cool technical achievement, but the experience was held back by the fact that you had to log in to the service and use Browzmi's own bookmarking service. Now, a newly released Firefox extension replaces the 'browser within a browser' and greatly enhances the social surfing experience.
Opera 10 Alpha Emphasizes Faster Browsing Experience Over New Features
Opera today released a sneak peek of the newest version of its desktop browser, Opera 10. At the center of this new release is Presto 2.2, Opera's new rendering engine, which, according to the company, offers a considerably faster browsing experience when compared to Presto 2.1.
Opera has had to face stiff competition in the desktop browser market from Google's Chrome, and the company is clearly looking to gain back some ground by emphasizing the speed of the rendering engine over new features in this release.
Visual Explorer: New Browser Built on Top of Internet Explorer
Today we came across Visual Explorer, a new browser that wants to provide users with a better, more tightly integrated browsing experience. Similar to what Flock does with Firefox, Visual Explorer is built on top of Microsoft's Internet Explorer and provides users with a new user interface, as well as a number of new features. While Flock focuses on integrating lots of social media services, Visual Explorer tries to provide its users with a more extensive set of general browsing features such as live previews for tabs or an enhanced download manager.
Google Chrome May Be Pre-installed On New PCs
How did Internet Explorer become the number one browser in the world? Simple - it came with every new computer you purchased, pre-installed and ready to go. Now it seems Google is contemplating doing the same with their browser, Google Chrome. According to Google VP, Product Management, Sundar Pichai, the browser's beta period will end in January and then they "will probably do distribution deals," he says.
Flock To Developers: We're Using Firefox Add-Ons Now
On Tuesday, Flock revealed the new version of their social browser, Flock 2.0. At the time, the company made a point to mention that most Firefox extensions would work in their browser, too, including one of our favorites, Greasemonkey. However, yesterday, Flock Community Ambassador Evan Hamilton sent out an email to all Flock developers about some changes the company had decided to make. The email made it clear that Flock had not just decided to support Firefox add-ons, they were killing all the Flock-specific add-ons, too.
