History

Opera mini is a unique web browser. It is designed specifically for mobile phones and for smartphones. It also works well with personal digital assistants. There was a web browser called opera, and the opera mini was derived from this web browser. Opera mini was first introduced in the year 2005. The pilot project was in co-operation with a television station from Norway and was initially only available to the customers of this television station, tv 2. A beta version of this browser was put on the market. It was made available in various countries. These countries included Sweden, Denmark, Norway, and also Finland. So it was made available across these European countries. A final version was then launched in Germany in 2005. Thereafter, it was released quite quietly to many countries, simply via the Opera website. The browser was officially launched and released internationally in the year 2006. Opera mini 2, which came out in 2006, included many new features. It had the ability to download files. There were more search engine options available. There was a speed dial option. There were new search engines and improved navigation. There were also new custom skins. In the computer literacy vocabulary, skins refers to visual styles. Opera mini 3 also arrived in 2006. This came with secure browsing and also came with RSS feeds. There was photograph uploading. There was content folding. All these capabilities had now been added to its list of features. In 2007 Opera Mini 4 was released. Johan Schon, who was then the technical lead of Opera Mini development, said that the whole code for opera mini had been rewritten. The 4 version of opera mini included the capability to view web pages in a way similar to a desktop browser. The user could use a built in pointer to zoom in to see clearer images. Google was the default search engine initially, but a partnership with Yahoo was soon announced. A version for android phones was announced in 2008.

Usability features

The device has arrow keys. These arrow keys are then to be used for scrolling. The number keys are also used for scrolling. The display can be viewed in either landscape mode or portrait mode. Basically you can toggle between the two. You can toggle between the two by keystrokes. If the phone has an orientation sensor, then the landscape will switch automatically. You can change the default orientation on the phone. There are also options in respect of image quality. Image quality can be set to either high or low, or medium. The image quality setting that you choose will definitely affect the time it takes for the page to load onto your phone.

The higher the quality you choose, the longer the page will take to load. There is only one font which opera mini supports. This font can be set to different sizes. You can adjust the font to either small, or medium, or large. There is also a font option of extra large. It doesn’t matter if the webpage you go to uses different fonts, you will only be able to view it in a generic font. The generic font is mono-spaced. Opera mini has a search-bar. The search-bar can use a multiplicity of pre-configured search engines. If required, the user has the option of adding more search engines. The default search engines that come as part of the package are Google and Wikipedia. There are various capabilities supported by opera mini. For instance, opera mini supports shortcut keys, opera mini supports skins, it supports a web feed aggregator.

Opera mini can also save bookmarks. It can download files. Opera mini can save webpages which is very useful for offline reading. This can save you data and money. You simply save your page and read it later, without having to pay costs of using the internet. Opera mini also remembers the browsing history of the user.  Since opera mini 4 was released, the layout engine used, is the same layout engine as used for opera 9.5. This means that opera mini has the capability to support most of the web standards that are supported in opera 9.5. Opera mini does not support web forms 2.0. This is where opera mini differs from the desktop version. Opera mini re-formats web pages. The result of this is that frames get flattened. There are bandwidth issues and memory issues as well. these cause dashed borders to get displayed as solid borders for example. Opera mini has the capability to support bi-directional text. This means that it can display scripts such as Arabic and Hebrew, scripts which run from right to left. The old opera mini 3 basic is still available. It has various features, which include an option to increase a text size. It does not support a full page view. There is no built in clock. It does not support encryption (as explained above).

Security features

When it comes to security, there has been some cause for concern with the opera mini browser. Opera mini 3 advanced takes the connection between the mobile device and the proxy server and it encrypts the connection. This is done as a security measure and as a means of privacy. How do you obtain the encryption key? The encryption key is obtained by requesting that the user must press random keys on a particular number of times. This encryption key is obtained on the first start. The opera mini 3 version does not have the capability of encryption. The security of opera mini has however been open to much criticism. The main criticism is because it does not offer pure and end to end security. This is the case when you visit sites such as pay-pal. If you visit an encrypted webpage, the page gets decrypted by the opera software company’s servers. They then re-encrypt the page themselves. This is the thing that breaks end to end security. It is a security risk and should be taken into account when you are using such applications as internet banking.

How to Make Google My Homepage in Safari/Mac

Last but not the least of Browsers but I am sure Last in popular browsers used by Lakhs of People. Safari is inbuild browser of Mac Computers.

So this guide will not be only for how to make google my homepage in safari but also How to make google your homepage on mac.

Follow the Simple Steps below and Make Google your homepage on Mac having Safari Browser.

Safari allows many different ways to make Google your homepage depending on the way to prefer to browse content on Safari.

1.  First open up Safari, select Safari in the upper left corner of the screen, and then select Preferences. From here, select General.

2.  Look for the heading that says Homepage with space next to it. You can either type in google.com, or if you’re already on the Google site you can choose the button below, which says Set to Current page.

3. Next, choose set to current page for making use of that webpage.

4. Open some more windows and a pop-up menu will appear, choose homepage option.

5. Close the browser and restart it. After that, you will be able to browse the internet via Google search engine. and Google will be available as your homepage.

History

No we are not talking about a trip to Africa to see the lions and the elephants. We are looking at the Safari web browser, and examining its history and development, as well as its usability and security features. Until very recently, in fact, right up until 1997, Apple Macintosh computers were made with the web browser Cyberdog, and the web browser Netscape Navigator, however, later on Internet explorer for Mac was also included as a default web browser. What happened was that Apple entered into a five year agreement with Microsoft, and the result was that their web browser became part of the Apple computers setup. Microsoft released various versions of the internet explorer for mac. If you go back and count, you will see that they released three versions. This was done for the MAC OS 8 and MAC OS 9. However, Netscape navigator was still included, this was included to serve as a possible alternative, in the event that the user preferred it. Microsoft eventually released a version of internet explorer for mac, which was called MAC OS X. This was then included as a default browser. But as we know all too well, in the world of software, things develop and develop fast. In 2003, Steve Jobs had an announcement to make. And what was his announcement? He announced that Apple in fact had developed their very own browser. This browser was called Safari. They released it on 7 January 2003. A few versions followed afterward, until version 1.0 was released in June 2003. It was included with internet explorer as the default browser for Mac. In 2005, Safari was included with Mac as the only default browser. Apple released various improved versions of Safari. In January 2010 they released the final stable version of Safari 2. This version addressed many layout and usage issues. It was the last version to be released until 2012.

Usability features

Safari uses Apple’s webkit to render web pages. It also uses Apple’s webkit to run javascript. What does webkit consist of? Webkit consists of webcore and it consists of javascript core. The layperson will be asking, but what is webcore and what is javascript core? They are easily described as free software. This free software is released under the GNU Lesser General Public Licence, so the terms of this licence agreement are applicable to the use of the free software. Furthemore, Apple releases additional code under a BSD like licence. Before Safari 6 arrived, they included in it a web feed aggregator. This was built into the product. What is a web feed aggregator? A web feed is also called a news feed. Basically it is a data format. What is it used for? It is used for providing frequently updated content to users. A web feed is syndicated by the distributors of content. This allows users to subscribe to it. Aggregation occurs when you make multiple web feeds (or a collection of web feeds) available in one spot. This task is performed by an aggregator. Often, a web feed can also be called a syndicate feed. Getting back to usability features, the web feed aggregator that was built into Safari, supported both the RSS and Atom standards. Private browsing is one of the features that is currently available. Private browsing is a particular form of browsing whereby no record of the browse or browse history is kept in the browser. Thus, there is no record of information kept in the browser, reflecting the user’s web activity. This is simply achieved by asking websites not to track you. This browser also allows you to email complete webpages. This can be emailed straight from the browser menu. You can also search bookmarks, and share tabs between certain devices.

Security features

Browser security is very important. It involves the application of internet security to internet browsers. This protects computer systems and networked data from malware or breaches of privacy. Security breaches of computer systems do happen. Often exploits of browsers use javascript. Exploits can take advantage of vulnerabilities. Vulnerabilities are holes in security that can be exploited in various browsers. These holes need to be patched. Apple does take steps to prevent dangerous plug ins from running on Safari. They maintain a plug in blacklist. This blacklist can be remotely updated. They have already blocked certain versions of Flash and versions of Java. In 2008, a competition was held in Vancouver, British Columbia at a security conference. An attempt was made to exploit Safari and the attempt  was successful. MAC OS X was the first OS to be successfully hacked in a hacking competition. Competition entrants were tasked with having to compete with each other to find  a way to read the file contents of a file that was on the user’s desktop. They had to achieve this in one of three operating systems. The three operating systems were; Mac OS X Leopard, also there was Windows Vista SP1, and finally there was Ubuntu7.10. The first day of the competition was exclusively for network attacks. The second day of the competition, entrants were allowed to physically touch the computers, an entrant by the name of Charlie Miller managed to compromise the Mac OS X. He did this via a vulnerability that was unpatched. This vulnerability was found in the PCRE library that Safari uses. However, the entrant Charlie Miller was well aware of this vulnerability before he even entered the competition. He didn’t announce his intention, but he did work at exploiting this vulnerability from before the start of the conference. This is however quite the norm for this type of competition, so it was quite acceptable. This vulnerability, once identified, was then patched up by Safari. This flaw, among other flaws, was then patched up. In 2009, the same individual did it again. He hacked into a Mac by completing another successful exploit. He again acknowledged that he had prior knowledge of the flaw, and worked at exploiting it. He acknowledged that he had done much research on the topic, and that was how he had been able to do it. A patch for this exploit was later released by Apple

How to Make Google My Homepage in Mozilla

If you are using Firefox and struggling to make google your Homepage then no need to worry as Mozilla offers the easiest method to make Google as the Homepage. You just have to follow some simple steps given below,

  • 1. Open up Firefox, and go to the Google home website with the search bar you know and love.
  • 2. Click/Select the tab itself (the bumper where the title of the page usually is) and hold down. Then drag that tab right, over to the homepage button that Firefox uses in the taskbar – it looks like a little house and you can easily see that.

3. This will bring up a quick notification asking you if you really want to set this on your homepage. Select Yes, and you’re done.

Note: If you want to delete and replace current homepage options more directly, click the three-line menu button and go to Preferences. From here, select the General tab and look for the Startup under Home Page, choose to Restore to Default, which will clear any past choices.

History Of Firefox

So we all are well acquainted with the Mozilla Firefox web browser. That pictogram of the globe of the world being snugly hugged by a fiery fast orange fox is all too familiar. And why do we love firefox? Because it gets the job done. It makes using the internet simple and effortless. No long waiting and no hassles. But where did it all begin? Every great project usually started with nothing more complicated than a good idea matched with dedication and effort. Mozilla firefox is hailed as being the brainchild of two persons by the name of Dave Hyatt and Blake Ross, and was borne as nothing more than an offshoot of the Mozilla browser. The product was released to the world in the year of 2004, so that was quite a few years ago now. And of course, as we all know, prior to that it was the internet explorer that was more widely used. Firefox however, came into the picture and changed the internet stakes forever. New and improved versions of the product were then constantly being released. The 2004 release was followed up with releases in 2005, 2006, 2008, 2009, 2010, and 2011. The last version released came with a rapid release cycle. This envisions a major release every six weeks! The last version was released in 2014. The initial name used before release was Phoenix. This name was eventually changed because of a trademark dispute. The next name they picked was Firebird. This though, also was already borne by another software product. Pressure because of the name similarity caused them to change the name again. And what a lucky thing as well, I can’t imaging “Phoenix” or “Firebird” being as popular as “Firefox”. The latter name is just perfect.  The name firefox was then registered with the United States patent office, to prevent the need for any further name changes.

Usability features

What kind of features does firefox have that makes it unique from other web browsers? Firefox is said to rely on what is called a robust extension system. This means that users of firefox can modify the browser. They will do this according to their particular individual requirements. This then means that all the features of the browser do not have to be supplied in the standard distribution of the product. Pretty clever right? While it is true that Opera and Google Chrome can boast a similar feature, the truth is that since 2013, their extensions that they offer are less in number than firefox’s. It is also true that the well known internet explorer has an extension system, however it’s extension system is not as widely supported. There are developers with a multiplicity of browsers in their stable, and they more often than not support firefox. It is safe to say that sometimes firefox is the only browser they support. Another point to consider when assessing browsers is the protocol support and the question of the difficulty of adding new link type protocols. These are usually not capable of being well implemented with firefox. Firefox does however support web standards such as JTML, Javascript, DOM, XPath and so on. Firefox also has what is referred to as a quirks mode. Theirs tries to copy internet explorer’s quirks mode, but that really is the equivalent of using standards which are now obsolete. It has also been noted that firefox does not support Active X controls. This is why sometimes web pages can be found missing certain features. Sometimes they do not work at all. But the reason why they don’t support active x is because of its potential security vulnerability. You can use a third party plugin to make active x work with firefox, but this does not always work. Sometimes it won’t work with a particular version or platform.

Security features

There are many features that come with firefox and that are designed to improve security. Thus, security is a key feature of firefox. These security features include things such as sandbox security model, it includes what is called same origin policy, it includes external protocol whitelisting, it includes a phishing detector, it includes an option to clear all private data, and it includes an option to clear data such as browser history and cookies. What you need to note in respect of firefox security, is that it is what is referred to as open source software. This means that it has a source code that is visible to everybody. This in turn means that anyone can view the code for security vulnerability. It doesn’t matter if this person has good or bad intentions, they will be able to view the code. It should be noted that Mozilla firefox has a bounty system when it come to their security issues. What does this mean you may be wondering? Well it means exactly what it says. There is a bounty offered in respect of security problems reported. Any individual who makes a report will receive a cash reward. Let’s look a little more closely at some of the security features. Phishing is when someone tries to get sensitive information from someone via email. This could include trying to get their passwords, usernames, and credit card details. They do this by pretending to be a valid email which can be trusted, but of course, it is part of a scam. They may contain links to websites that have bugs or other malware on them. So luckily then, Mozilla firefox has a phishing detector. The software which tests computer software is called sandbox. Sandbox is in essence a software development. It is a security mechanism with a security function. It is designed to separate running programs. If there is an unverified program from a third party, then sandbox is used to test it. It is applicable when you are dealing with websites and users which can’t be trusted. It is a credit to firefox that they contain so many security features to counteract these types of threats and to protect users.
