8 useful chrome Plugins for bloggers

In a short span of time, probably because of the brand name, Google has managed to secure the third position as the most commonly used web browser next to Internet Explorer and Firefox. The main reason for their success is the simplicity and browsing speed. Some of the other attractions will include the presence of an incognito window and a number of add ons or extensions that are useful for bloggers and web designers.

Mozilla building mobile OS to battle Chrome

Mozilla revealed preliminary plans today to take the Gecko engine that drives its Firefox browser and turn it into an open-source operating system that will eventually work on phones and tablets.

Called Boot to Gecko, it is known that the source code will be released to the public "in real-time," wrote Andreas Gal, a Mozilla researcher. Gecko is the rendering engine that powers Firefox and the e-mail client Thunderbird. By contrast, while Google's Androidmobile operating system is open source, the main development work on it does not become available until after Google has green-lit its publication--sometimes not until months afterward.
