FavBrowser.com is 1 Year Old
I am really happy to announce that FavBrowser.com is officially one year old now. Happy birthday!

“New” Firefox Logo
Few days ago Asa Dotzler posted about responsible Firefox logo usage and asked to spread a word. That’s what we are doing. As he says:
Just about every day I run across someone using Firefox’s ancient, pre-1.0 logo. To most people it won’t be obvious or it won’t seem like a big deal, but it’s a real peeve of mine… Here’s a picture of two logos compared: Continue Reading
