With Adobe Flash Player 10.1 available for Android, Nexus One users will be able to access a variety of rich media directly from the browser. This includes in-line videos, multiple games and more.

…Tweet Monday, August 16th, 2010 at 12:53 PM PSTIf you sport a Google Nexus One with Android 2.2 you can now get the full, beta-less version of Adobe Flash Player 10.1.Previous beta versions had been available in the Android Market for a while but Adobe is finally taking the training wheels off this thing.With Adobe Flash Player 10.1 for Android, Nexus One users will be able to access a variety of rich media directly from the browser. This includes in-line videos, multiple games and more.Unfortunately, this doesn’t mean every single Flash site works as it would on the desktop. Hulu, for example, still doesn’t work on a mobile device because the company wants to charge mobile users for access to its content. This Hulu Plus service will cost about $10 per month.While the lack of Hulu is a bummer, we’ve found that Adobe Flash on Android works pretty well. In-browser video plays well and Adobe has done a lot to ensure its smartphone versions work well for mobile use cases. This includes the ability to play nice…

The Ultimate Guide To Speeding Up Firefox On Netbooks

When it comes to speed, Firefox has been traditionally behind rival browsers like Chrome, Opera and Safari. Firefox is slow.

…rendering.directwrite.enabled and double click on it to change its value to true (it’s false by default).
Next, find mozilla.widget.render-mode, double-click it and change the value from -1 to 6 in the box that appears. Click on OK.
That’s it! Close the tab, restart Firefox and get along with your work.

Do note that there is a reason hardware acceleration is disabled by default for now it’s obviously not polished enough, and you may face a few more crashes here and there. But if you ask me, a slightly unstable usable browser is much better off than a totally unusable browser. Again, this feature is likely to be enabled by default in the final version of FF 4.
6. Block Unwanted Flash and Scripts
This point conflicts directly with the following point, but for a valid reason. Some websites have tons of garbage Flash content and javascript, all of which will absolutely kill the timid Atom processor. So you should totally go install the NoScript add-on for Firefox, that blocks scripts and Flash content on all…

Why HTML5 Is Not Enough – For Now

The demands for media and interactivity has outgrown any and all standards. In the place of a cohesive system, we have any number of plugins and extensions for the popular browsers. Each of these plugins can be seen as a requirement to experience certain parts of the web, and each can present their own security issues.

…s user, and incorporates such features as multimedia and interactivity into the standard itself.
Not only that,but the majority of the latest devices support HTML5, as do the latest versions of the popular desktop browsers. HTML5 is no doubt the future of the web, so it makes sense to start migrating that direction. In fact, it would almost seem to be the perfect solution, since it covers desktop and mobile device needs. But there is a problem.
The Fly in the Ointment
Now, as I said, HTML5 is no doubt the future of the web. And at some point, if you run a web site you will need to support the standard. But we live in the right here and now, and those millions of devices need to be supported today, six months from now, and next year.
So, making a move now to HTML5 sounds great for both a short term and long term solution. The popular devices out now are happy, and it will work for later. But the problem is with a new family of devices coming on the market.
That problem has the name of Windows Phone 7 (WP7)….

The beta version of Google’s next browser is expected to ship soon, as the developer-channel release of Chrome 6 has just seen a code freeze

…Chrome 5 added built-in support for Adobe Flash, and version 6 adds similar support for PDFs. An in-browser PDF viewer will ship with the next browser. PDFs can be viewed, searched and navigated in a tab, just like a web page. The PDF experience is also sandboxed like any other app, keeping things secure. Printing…

OpenGL ES 2.0 Coming to a Desktop Near You to Speed Up WebGL

The Khronos WebGL working group is developing a 3D API for the web, bringing 3D content right to the web browser using open standards.

…This API has been adopted by many embedded devices such as consoles, mobile phones, handheld computers, and vehicles. As a subset of the full OpenGL 2.0 specification, OpenGL ES 2.0 limits the embedded graphics API to only the most common functionality, reducing the implementation burden for embedded hardware.
The Khronos WebGL working group is developing a 3D API for the web, bringing 3D content right to the web browser using open standards. This effort uses an OpenGL ES 2.0-like interface as its backbone. OpenGL ES 2.0 was chosen as a common denominator of 3D acceleration on devices supporting web browsers.
AMD has just announced support for OpenGL ES on desktop platforms. This means ATI…

The Battle For Your Browser’s Homepage

Do you create your own local start page?

…Many people fall into one of two categories when talking about their browser homepage. One side wants it minimal, something that loads fast and gives them only what they need, like a blank page or the Google search. Others like their homepage to pack a punch, and include utilities to monitor and manage their web content. The first group is easily pleased, and can just point their browser to about:blank and be done with it. For everyone else though, there is a multitude of choice. Do you create your own local start page? Open to Yahoo or MSN? Use a third-party website designed for this? If you want to get more out of your home page without a lot of digging, this guide is for you. We’ll be comparing three of the top dynamic starting sites iGoogle, Netvibes, and Pageflakes to see how they stack up.

iGoogle
If you use a lot of Google products, you likely already know iGoogle. It can work with or without a Google account, however the account is wise to have if you’d like to save your settings permanently, or use…

Firefox on your iPhone?

Mozilla has just released Firefox Home for iOS, it’s not actually a bells and whistles browser; but it’s about as close as your going to get to the grown up desktop version on an Apple mobile device. The release of this app is certainly a step in the right direction from the open source giants, so what exactly is Firefox Home?

…but it’s about as close as your going to get to the grown up desktop version on an Apple mobile device. The release of this app is certainly a step in the right direction from the open source giants, so what exactly is Firefox Home?
Well er… not very much actually, it appears that due to the fact that Firefox is based on Mozilla and Apple only allows browsers based on the Webkit rendering engine to truly grace their iOS. Mozilla’s hands are pretty much tied leaving the best browser builders of the internet unable to actually build a ‘real’ web browser for platform. What you end up getting is an app that essentially is a one way bookmarking suite that remembers your desktop PC’s/MAC Firefox browser tabs, history and a few other tidbits.
Make sure you remember to sync your PC first though, oh yeah and don’t forget to download ‘Firefox Sync’ then install…restart… then sync then dare we say it… delete and just use Safari/Opera?
It really is a shame that Mozilla cannot get in on the mobile browser market…
