Firefox 3.1 Beta 2

Opera 10 Alpha 1 now available

Opera has long been the pioneer of the browser world; many of the features that we take for granted in Firefox, IE and Safari actually began life in Opera. The browser also tends to have the best web standards support around, and the latest alpha preview of Opera 10 is no exception. Although the new Opera 10 is an alpha preview, and not recommended for anything more than testing, its noteworthy for being the first release to grab a perfect score on the ACID 3 browser stress test. The ACID tests are designed to push a browser’s limits when it comes to rendering web pages. The idea is that if browsers can render the ACID test pages, then they should be able to handle just about anything on the web.

Although the ACID 3 test has been around for some time, Opera 10 is the first release to pass it. Apple’s Safari browser, which was the first to pass the ACID 2 test, also passes ACID 3, but only using the developer nightly builds. Of course cutting edge web standards support isn’t the only thing coming in Opera 10. The first alpha also packs in revamped and much faster rendering engine, on-the-fly spell checking for text fields, support for HTML messages in Opera Mail, and an auto-update feature to force browser updates. We don’t recommend rushing out and downloading Opera 10 in its current alpha state, but the preview release is good news for Opera fans. So far Opera has not announced a time line for the final release of Opera 10.

Phishing Warning!

Please try to refrain from using download links that are protected or using any kind of link shortening service such as:

http://link-protector.com/857667/
http://tinyurl.com/dhfews and etc

I saw many of these links and they were phishing sites. Basicially when you add your details it will automatically be sent to the person who made it.

When downloading or using your user name make sure it’s on the correct site, for example Rapidshare.com could be easily mistaken for Rapidshare.fr.com (which could be a phishing site). When ever you are typing any important details please make sure you type it in the correct site.

When you type in a password for important sites such as Rapidshare, PayPal, Ebay, Internet Banking and etc you will see a lock symbol near where the loading bar is.

This means that the site is encrypted, so it makes sure unauthorized people won’t see any details. Make sure when you type in passwords in places like Rapidshare or PayPal you see that lock, if not then don’t sign in.

Change your password very often. Make them long and not guessable, click Here for a password generator!

If you have any doubts that you have typed in your passwords in sites like these you should change your password immediately.

Please note that i am not saying all these links are phishing sites. To be on the safe side i recommend you not use them as there should be links without these protectors.

Solutions

• Change password regualy
• If you know you used the “Save Password” option on the browser, don’t retype you password on download pages, instead go to the official homepage and type it there.
• Use download managers that grab the links and download them automatically, for example IDM, type in your username and password once in the options and it will download links without you typing passwords again.
• Adding more soon…

Enabling Right click .

Lots of web sites have disabled the right click function of the mouse button... it's really, really annoying. This is done so that you don't steal (via right-click->save picture) their photos or images or any other goodies. Unfortunately, it disables ALL right-click functionality: copy, paste, open in new window.

It's easy to change, assuming your using IE 6:
Click "Tools"->"Internet Options"
Click the "Security" tab
Click "Custom Level"
Scroll down to the "Scripting" section
Set "Active Scripting" to "disable"
Click "Ok" a couple of times.
