Popup management in the new Google Chrome
I’ve upgraded today to the latest version of Google Chrome available on the dev channel and finally popup management is available in Google’s browser. I’ve been waiting for this for a long time. I even made a post about how much i hate the lack of popup management in Chrome. Theme support also has been [...]
Romanian browser usage trends
I’ve recently made a study about the browsers preferred by romanians. I don’t claim this study to be 100% accurate but it can be useful in some situations. The methodology was simple. I took the browser data for a few of the largest romanian sites listed in Trafic.ro (a web statistics system which provides browser [...]
Chrome Experiments and Extensions
Or could i call this post just Javascript is the future ? It seems that Google indeed has big plans with Chrome. That’s why they built in a very advanced and fast Javascript engine called V8. This Javascript engine will allow developers to create highly advanced applications that run directly in the browser without any [...]

Google Chrome’s popup blocker sucks!
I’m having difficulties working on Chrome lately. I’m using a webpage that constatly spawns popups for reminders and my problem is that Chrome blocks these popups. And it shows the notice that a popup has been blocked only for a few seconds. If you are not quick enough you have no way to see the [...]
Upgrade your browser!
Often i found myself wondering about why people use some antique and insecure software. For example Internet Explorer 6. This browser was launched back in 2001 and many many people still use it. Now when Internet Explorer 8 is about to be launched. In fact if you look in the statistics of any high trafic [...]
Opera 10 looks good aka browser wars are back on
I’ve just tested Opera 10 with its new Presto 2.2 rendering engine and it seems that Google Chrome has some competition on the speed factor. Opera 10 loads somewhat slower then Google Chrome but much faster as Firefox. It renders pages faster then Firefox but i couldn’t decide wich one is faster Chrome or Opera 10 [...]

Two annoying Chrome issues
I’m using Chrome heavily lately for work and for regular browsing. I’ve come accross two annoying issues that just ruin my Chrome experience. 1) When i type a domain name without “www” and the particular domain is not configured correctly it will give me an error. Firefox just ignores this and tries the domain with [...]
Google Chrome after one month of use
It is more then a month from the moment when Google Chrome went live. I use it since then and i love its speed and its simplicity. It crashed on me only once and it took all the tabs with it. But that was a minor incident, it can happen. But what is worse is [...]
Google Chrome crashes all tabs
The much advertised feature of Google Chrome, the one that prevents a web page to crash the whole browser because of a bad site, isn’t working as supposed to be. I just opened a pdf file from a web site, in one browser instance and that crashed the whole browser (All instances and tabs crashed). [...]
