Re: The Browser Wars
Myself and my co-workers use almost exclusively Google Chrome. It's considerably faster than most other browsers, especially Internet Explorer. At Paul Stonier Design, We build a web applications & websites and there is a huge benefit from being able to load javascript files asynchronously. Plus, the Chrome Extension store has all kinds of goodies. Just don't run a ton or they'll eat up your memory.

Re: The Browser Wars
Pstonier, what are some of your favorite goodies from the Chrome Extension store?

Re: The Browser Wars
There's the standard Facebook, Tweetdeck, YouTube, Gmail, etc, but then there are things such as the SEOMoz extension for web developers, Google Voice, Angry Birds and BaseCamp Extender.

Re: The Browser Wars
Wow, thanks for the quick reply, Pstonier! How do the apps run? Is there any lag or slow down running them from a browser?

Re: The Browser Wars
Many of the "apps" are actually just quick shortcuts to the website, but it makes it convenient. Others work as a layer on top of the normal browser functionality. Tweetdeck is the on that I would be able to compare to running as an application vs in browser and it runs much smoother in the browser than in the application because it doesn't have to rely on Adobe Air that is very buggy and memory intensive. It was my primary reason for switching to Chrome. I haven't looked back since.

Re: The Browser Wars
I'm a huge fan of chrome. I don't use many of the apps, but the speed and simplicity that is offered by chrome is a huge benefit to me. Just like the google webpage, it is very user friendly does what it needs to do.

Re: The Browser Wars
I personally do not care for Google Chrome. It's too cluttered for my taste. I like to keep it simple. I'm a FireFox fan. It does what it's supposed period, no whistles and no bells. It's also as quick asGoogle. I guess it depends on the kind of person you are.

Re: The Browser Wars
I guess it all depends on the individual, but from my experiences, the general consensus has been that Firefox started off great and is still a very good browser, but over time it's become very bloated as they've added features. If nothing else, it just takes forever to open for me.

Re: The Browser Wars
I use both, I'm even using IE on Windows 8 now and then. I guess it just comes down to whatever I'm feeling at the moment.
Happy holidays everyone!

Ways to Make Your Search More Accurate
Most of the time, you just want to find content that has a particular phrase. Here are the easiest ways to find the content you want.
-
Enclose your search phrase in quotes. Search will try to find content with those words in the order you enclosed them. A search for "marketing advice" is going to return content with the phrase "marketing advice".
-
Search for content that has certain words, but not necessarily all of the words in order. This is the most basic search. Simply enter your search terms. For example: accept credit cards This will search for documents containing the words accept, credit, and cards
-
Using OR. The OR operator links two terms and finds a matching document if either of the terms exist in a document. To search for documents that contain either "web design" or just "online marketing" use the query: "web design" OR "online marketing"
- Using AND. The AND operator says that the search should return content in which all of the search terms are present. To search for documents that contain both "web design" and just "online marketing" use a search like this: "web design" AND "online marketing"
