Few More Performance Improvements
Just few notes…
I’ve done bit more CSS optimizations.
Also, from now on, posts will be cached. This feature will increase loading speed as well. If you’ve noticed any strange behaviors or bugs, feel free to let me know about them.
Oh, and we can call that “FavBrowser v2.0.3” :-)
Opera Mini 5? Or Is It Opera Mini 4.5? On The Way

About Web Design Usability
So yesterday I’ve received a book called “Web Design for ROI: Turning Browsers into Buyers & Prospects into Leads” and just finished reading it. No, I usually don’t finish books in a few days :-) There were a plenty of interesting points. Since I’m a web designer myself (and most of the FavBrowser.com visitors owns web sites as well), thought I’ll let you know about it too. Also, there was one funny phrase (not the only one) which I’d like to quote. It tells a bit about web designers and what they experience sometimes.
Sure, I can make the box blue instead of red. Of course that will ruin the design integrity of the web page, so I’ll have to redesign the whole thing. But now that I know you only care about the box being blue, I can probably do whatever I want with the rest of the page and you’ll never notice.
What about you? Have you recently finished reading any interesting books (no, not novels :-))?

FavBrowser.com – Minor Improvements
I think we could call that “performance improvements” in some way :-)
CSS file was optimized and its size decreased almost by a half. Also, I’ve removed “Tags” from the web page; this would increase loading speed as well.

AT&T Pogo Web Browser
AT&T is currently working on a Mozilla Firefox based, 3D web browser called “Pogo”. At this moment, Pogo is open for private beta testers only.

Camino 1.6 Beta 4 Released
Just a few days ago, Camino 1.6 Beta 3 was released. Why there’s Camino Beta 4 already? It seems that there were a few more bugs which caused often crashing. One of them appeared when user clicked SELECT and another one when opening Privacy preferences. This build fixes both of them.

Your site looks different in Internet Explorer (IE), Firefox, Safari, Opera and any other web browser? If you’re a web developer, then you must know that making the web page to look exactly the same on every web browsers is a hard job to do.
Fortunately, there’s a solution to eliminate the differences in padding and margin for all web browsers. All you have to do is insert the following code into your CSS: Continue Reading
How I Violated Apple’s Software License Agreement
Apparently I did that after installing Safari on my Windows machine as Apple’s Software License Agreement says:
“2. Permitted License Uses and Restrictions. A. This License allows you to install and use one copy of the Apple Software on a single Apple-labeled computer at a time.”
