A masterfully made online booklet by the Google Chrome team about web browsers and the web’s history in general. All of the cutting-edge technologies (HTML5, CSS3 etc.) are in use here.

Thoroughly enjoying it, though I’d like to know how to get Safari Reader to detect articles on my site. Maybe it’s because I’m using <article> elements to denote entries.

New research by the EFF suggesting that most browsers create a unique signature that can be used as a means of identification.

The findings were the result of an experiment EFF conducted with volunteers who visited http://panopticlick.eff.org … EFF found that 84% of the configuration combinations were unique and identifiable, creating unique and identifiable browser “fingerprints”. Browsers with Adobe Flash or Java plug-ins installed were 94% unique and trackable.

Redmond is targeting real-world applications based on real-world data. For example, every single JavaScript and DOM API used by the top 7,000 websites was recorded. IE9 will deliver support for every API used by those sites.

Not just a “what’s my IP address” site – FindMeByIP.com shows all kinds of information about your browser, including support for HTML5 Forms and CSS3 selectors. An invaluable resource.

Those just installing Chrome will observe that it’s incredibly fast—as in, Safari levels of fast. This is certainly a plus when many alternate browsers (hi, Firefox) are, well, not.

I’m missing the Safari keyboard shortcuts that allow you to access the bookmarks in the Bookmarks Bar with option-1/2/3 and so on.
