Easy way to open the link in new tab

Vijay — Tue, 27 Jul 2010 05:21:31 +0000

This is a quick tip to open the links in new tab. This tip works in all major browsers Chrome, Firefox and IE.

Formal way of right clicking the menu to get the link in new tab is relatively slow.

Fast and smart way is…

If you have a Mouse with Scroll Button, then just click the link with the scroll button. This opens the link in new tab.

If you don’t have a Mouse with Scroll Button, then use Ctrl + Click on the link to open in new tab.

Opera mini browser for iPhone released

Vijay — Thu, 15 Apr 2010 22:39:26 +0000

Opera Mini browser was submitted on Apple iTunes store in March last week. There were so many debates going on in blogosphere, about the approval process by Apple. As it is a direct competition to Safari, many predicted that this won’t be approved by Apple.

Despite of all these arguments, Opera Mini Browser is now made available to public in Apple Store. This app has been approved by Apple on 13 Apr 2010, after 20 days.

It’s slick interface really gives a better performance. Here are few screenshots from Opera Mini Browser.

Opera Mini Browser video demo would explain more about the features and performance. Opera Mini had definitely created really a tough competition to Apple Safari.

I have just installed the app and the first experience is good. Still a lot more to explore.

Download Opera Mini Browser from Apple App Store.

And they are also running a competition. “When do you think Opera Mini will be approved by Apple?” The closest guess wins a brand new iPhone!

Usage of Google Chrome is increasing over the web. Especially the growth rate has been increased after it’s recent release with support to extensions.

Chrome’s extension base is also growing rapidly. Though Chrome doesn’t have as many extensions as Firefox has, the growth rate of Chrome Extensions created a healthier browser war.

London is snowed with Google Chrome advertisements

Vijay — Fri, 08 Jan 2010 20:00:08 +0000

I have been to London to spend the New Year holidays. Entire london was snowed with Google Chrome advertisements.

London streets, Tube stations, Train stations are the occupied with Google Chrome ads. The ads are quiet interesting and bit innovative too.

This trip to London gave me an impression that London is the brand ambassador for Google and Chrome.

Below are the few snaps taken during the trip.
