Keeping tabs on your tabs

Chrome - Tue, 2012-05-15 12:00
Say you’ve found an awesome recipe on your work computer while... ahem... working hard at the office. But when you get back home, you can’t quite remember if it was two teaspoons of baking soda or two teaspoons of baking powder. Wouldn’t it be cool if you could pull up the same recipe on your home computer with one click?

IE Blog - Mon, 2012-05-14 20:53

Sharing a link to a Web page is a common activity on the PC, and it gets better with IE10 on Windows 8. One of the new features on Windows 8 is the Share charm, which allows you to seamlessly send content between apps on your PC.

Desktop Apps with HTML5 and the Mozilla Web Runtime

Hacks Mozilla.org - Mon, 2012-05-14 19:16
Desktop Apps with HTML5

One of the best things about HTML is that it’s never “done”.  HTML has been with us longer than most of the development technologies that we consider commonplace. (.NET, ASP, Java, PHP, etc.)

The latest incarnation of HTML, HTML5 has been the source of a great deal of buzz in the software and information industries. When we say “HTML5″, we’re implicitly referring to the “stack” of  HTML/CSS/JavaScript.

DOM MutationObserver – reacting to DOM changes without killing browser performance.

Hacks Mozilla.org - Thu, 2012-05-10 23:12

DOM Mutation Events seemed like a great idea at the time – as web developers create a more dynamic web it seems natural that we would welcome the ability to listen for changes in the DOM and react to them.

Opera 11.64 released

Opera desktop team - Thu, 2012-05-10 08:31
Hey
We have today released a new security and stability update of Opera 11.6x
If you wonder why your Opera suddenly upgrade from 11.62 to 11.64 skipping 11.63 it´s because you are not on mac where we had to throw out a 11.63 release a short while back.

11.64 does not contain many bug fixes, but it is a recommended security update and it does fix some crashers and a bad nsl bug some people get on e.g Ebay.
