  • Crawler.com hijacked my browser
    After installing an app last weekend I’ve had Crawler.com hijack my browser to be my default search engine. I didn’t tell Crawler.com to do that so I’m pretty pissed off with them and every attempt to uninstall the damned search engine has failed. The hijack doesn’t appear to have had a massive effect on boosting [...]
  • Google Chrome
    Rumour has it that Google’s new open source browser, Chrome, is out today. Infact it’s not just speculation, Google made an official announcement on their blog. Google’s Chrome browser is accompanied by a 32-page Scott McCloud comic book detailing Google’s thoughts behind the release of the new browser which lands in a market dominated by [...]
  • FF3b5
    Firefox 3 Beta 5 is out and, although it’s a nice bit of kit, I only really wanted to post about it because of the awesome piece of design on the FF3b5 welcome page. The gorgeous picture accompanying the FF3b5 homepage is of a giant retro robot being built in a utopian setting – very [...]
  • IE7 Pageload Sound
    This isn’t a design post, but more of a tip to stop you being driven insane whilst you have to use IE7. Does anybody else find the sound that IE7 makes when it loads/reloads pages really annoying? It’s that irritating “tick” sound when you open a new tab and load a page. Or when an [...]

  • Firefox is Crap
    I’m a big fan of Firefox and always have been. I was a big fan of Firebird before that too (remember that one, oldtimers?). IE6 has been the bane of my designers’ life and IE7, although much of an improvement over Internet Excruciator 6, is still not as good as I’d expect from a team [...]
  • IE7 favicons
    Why does Microsoft’s Internet Explorer 7 have such a scrappy tab bar? On the PLUS side IE7′s tab bar does use little screen real estate as they squeeze in a lot of buttons (including the Favourites, Quick Tabs, Home, Feeds, Print, Page and Tools buttons) but on the other hand I’m not happy that if [...]
  • Firebug for Firefox
    A developer friend put me on to the Firebug extension for Firefox a few months back and yesterday it proved invaluable in identifying some troublesome code on a live web page. I specifically used Firebug to track down which classes and IDs in a blogger page template were causing my layout problems and it worked [...]
  • Why I Hate IE7
    Don’t accuse me of jumping on the bandwagon – these are my own personal reasons for hating IE7… 1) The code view or Page > View Source: Why is it all in black text? I love Firefox’s syntax colouring, you can’t beat it for helping to debug/scan lines of code. 2) Why does my stylesheet [...]
  • IE dominance
    In the early days, back in ’98, I found IE4 to be a better browser than NS Navigator. Personally I found the NSN buttons and tool bars to bloated and gimmicky and the cleaner lines of IE4 allowed just that little bit more screen to show. But here, 9 years later, I have found that [...]
