Digging Mozilla

ByMike McBride Reading Time: 1 minute

I downloaded Mozilla 1.2 Beta last night and there are two new features that are rocking my world right now. First the pop-up manager actually solves the problem I was having with surfing blogs and opening comment windows by letting me specify which sites are not allowed to do pop-ups, and leaving the pop-up comment windows alone.

Secondly, giving you the option to setup a group of tabbed pages as your homepage is very cool. Now I can go ahead and open 3-4 pages right from the start, that saves some clicks. Always a good thing!

Blogger even seems to work with the new version, so it’s very close to becoming the only browser I need to surf with. I’ll have to test it some more before I make that determination, but it’s got a shot!

Speaking of new versions, AmphetaDesk v0.93.1 is Now Available. Some minor fixes, some security improvements, etc. Read more on their site.

    Kevin stumbled on one of the more frustrating “rookie mistakes” that we all make from time to time. Not documenting stuff! I’ve stumbled on this one myself a few times recently, mistakenly thinking that a problem was a one-time thing and not writing down, and sharing with the other tech support folks, exactly what I…

    Quick Thought – The Data Isn’t Safe – Bake in Privacy and Security

    Of course, when we create new laws or tools, we focus on the problem in front of us. Whether that be, in this case, trying to enforce an age restriction or requiring identity verification in some odd attempt at making it more difficult for people to engage in anonymous speech, we too often forget the details of how that would work exactly.
