I love how they bend over backwards to try and explain the uses for this feature without mentioning the things that it will be used for 99% of the time -- pornography, sexchat, or cheating on your significant other through the use of internet dating sites. "Suppose you bought a present for someone and you don't want them to see that site in the browser history" Yeah, sure :lol

Post by: border on June 30, 2009, 03:01:59 PM: Didn't Microsoft have something like Private Mode planned for IE8, but they canned it because there was too much concern about employers/businesses being unable to track down lazy/perverted users? Or was it just the "Private Folder" thing that they canned for similar reasons?

Post by: recursivelyenumerable on June 30, 2009, 03:03:42 PM: the InPrivate feature is in IE8, it wasn't canned.

Post by: Veidt on June 30, 2009, 03:12:43 PM: I just installed Safari 4. This is great. It's not as fast as FF or Chrome, but the interface and search history feature are amazing. Also, spelling correction ftw.

Post by: Guybrush Threepwood on June 30, 2009, 03:58:32 PM: Is there anything like Mouse Gestures that has no use other than letting you draw stuff on the browser?

I love drawing shit but sometimes Mouse Gestures thinks I inputted something and opens 20 windows.

Title: Re: Firefox 3.5
Post by: ManaByte on June 30, 2009, 06:35:20 PM: Faster than IE8. IE8 was faster than Firefox 3, but it did hang sometime. Not noticing that with 3.5 yet.

Still have to use IE for school stuff, but for everything else I'll stick with Firefox.

Post by: BlueTsunami on June 30, 2009, 08:55:37 PM: I might jump ship from Chrome. Chrome is fast and good and light but it tends to not load Flash videos (F5 F5 F5 F5 F5 F5 MOTHER FUCK F5).
Title: Re: Firefox 3.5
Post by: chronovore on June 30, 2009, 11:08:39 PM: Weird. I thought it would check at startup this morning, but I manually encouraged it to check and it "found" the 3.5 upgrade. Downloading now.

Hopefully it works nicely with NoScript and Flashblock. Oh, and ImgLikeOpera, where I can shut out all the nasty icons and pictures, leaving nothing but text and blocks.

Title: Re: Firefox 3.5
Post by: chronovore on July 01, 2009, 04:36:47 AM: Er, hey, that's news to me as well. I remember hearing about it, looking at the Edit menu, thinking that Undo would be context-sensitive to this task -- nope.

Anywho, right-click on the Tab Bar is OK, I guess. You can also go to History menu, Recently Closed Tabs and find a list of closed tabs from which to choose.
