So you like Chrome, but sometimes have compatibility problems and fallback on Internet Explorer ? In this case, try ChromePlus: http://www.chromeplus.org/. It’s based on Chrome, and if necessary you can open an IE tab within ChromePlus.
From the ChromePlus website:
ChromePlus has all the functionalities that Google Chrome has. More, ChromePlus added some useful features such as Mouse gesture, Super drag, IE tab, etc. Meanwhile, ChromePlus is free with no function limitation and you can use ChromePlus to surf the internet in any case.
Firefox 3.5 final is released 30 June 2009

There it is, the final version of Firefox 3.5, a few days after RC3. I did not notice Firefox updating the version and now everywhere it clearly states 3.5 instead of RC3. There were probable not a lot of changes between RC3 (or no changes at all) and the final version 3.5 …
Anyway both versions seem snappy. Up to version 4 now 
Firefox 3.5 RC3 is available now 25 June 2009

Will this be last RC before the final release of Firefox 3.5. We’ll see …

Firefox 3.5 RC 2 is available now (see freewarefiles.com), so I guess it won’t take much longer before we will see the final version 3.5 coming. I have been testing the latest 3.5 Beta versions together with version 3.0.x of Firefox without any problems. They both run stable on the same system (just installed in another folder; 3.5 nicely took over the settings from 3.0.x).

Apple Safari 4 for PC and Mac is available and can be downloaded here. I have tried it for a short time now: impressing, quick, nice features like visual Top Sites and History.
Little Google Chrome problems 6 June 2009

I recently installed version 3.0.182.2 Dev and encountered weird font and layout issues, so I uninstalled it and reinstalled Google Chrome 2.0.172.28.
Today I found Google Chrome 3.0.183.1 Beta at http://www.majorgeeks.com/Google_Chrome_d5974.html. This version works without any problems. One remark though: why doesn’t Google put all Google Chrome versions on their website, so everyone can easily download the version they would like to test (instead of having to search on freeware sites …) ?
Evernote 20 January 2009

Thanks to my college Geert Baeke, who mentions Evernote briefly in one of his posts (http://blog.baeke.info/blog/_archives/2009/1/4/4045292.html), I discovered Evernote, and I created an account on Evernote myself. This looks like a really handy tool.
Quote from Evernote site:
Remember everything. Evernote allows you to easily capture information in any environment using whatever device or platform you find most convenient, and makes this information accessible and searchable at any time, from anywhere.
