Although a lot of browsers come with great homepages (I’m thinking Firefox Start, but especially Opera’s Speed Dial), there are plenty of reasons for changing yours. Apart from using your favorite website (wink, wink), we’ve seen a bunch of services here on MakeUseOf in the past, allowing you to make a personal, dynamic homepage, greeting [...]

Steve Jobs once said that Microsoft’s products lack “taste”. At the moment, it started a war between Windows and Mac fanboys. But to many people, that statement was justified ““ OS X was considerably ahead of Windows from a design and usability standpoint. Today, you can see that Microsoft has decided to give a lot [...]

Twitter is much more than just “˜chirps’ from one friend to another. It’s now more of a roar as it has penetrated mobile phones, instant messengers, desktops, blogs and websites.

Well, not literally, of course, but now you can access Gmail even when you’re offline. The Ninjas over at the Gmail team have created a masterpiece and are inviting you to give their new offering a spin. Too Dramatic, was it ? Well, the reason that I’m being so dramatic is that the feature that [...]

I remember a wall poster that said ““ “Even for expert users things should be simple.” The line came to my mind when I came across the nifty “˜Incognito mode’ in Google Chrome. The incognito mode gives us a way to stealthily and sneakily wade through the web. For those who have come in late, [...]

I want to start out by saying, I LOVE Google Chrome. Recently I went away from Flock and made Chrome my primary browswer. Going out and saying it’s the “best browser I’ve ever used” would be a bit much, but it’s definitely in the top teir. This article isn’t about how great Chrome is, though. [...]
