Due to the recent release of Google’s Chrome browser with InCognito and Microsoft’s IE8 Beta 2 with InPrivate modes, Mozilla has opted to make ‘private mode’ an immediate addition to he upcoming Firefox 3.1 due out early next year. In fact we could see a working version (with user interface) of ‘private mode’ as early as the Beta 1 release due out next month. Private mode is not that relatively new as Safari has had this option since version 2 released about 3 years ago. However besides Firefox, Opera does not currently offer a ‘private mode’ feature. In private mode,…

I mentioned last week in the Thoughts: Chrome Not Importing Fx Settings post that Chrome opens a new tab just to the right of the current tab. I clicked on a link in an email and Chrome opened this link in a new tab right next to my Windows Live Mail instead of the end of the tab bar. I am sure this is possible with Firefox 3 with one of the tab extensions, but it is nice to see Chrome does this by default. Turns out, the Tabs Open Relative extension does just that. So when opening a link…
Within less than a week of the release of Chrome, comes a couple Firefox 3 Themes based on the new browser by Google. The first theme Chromifox features the sky blue colour scheme as well as the compact navigation bar (combined stop/reload buttons and no ‘Home’ button) while still preserving Firefox 3’s Bookmark Star. Also reproduces the same tab aspect and rounded menus as Chrome. Note: The title color bar is going to vary depending on your OS (Blue for Windows, Orange for Linux and Grey for Mac). The other theme, Chrome Package is a very good reproduction of the…
