Which Web Browser Do You Use?

GeekSugar — Tue, 29 Mar 2011 05:20:21 PDT

Last week, Firefox 4 launched with a host of new features and was quickly downloaded by nearly 40 million people and counting. Google's Chrome browser is only two years old, but is already packing a punch with its helpful shortcuts, plug-ins, and more. Safari and IE are classics, and they come preinstalled on Macs and PCs respectively.

I've been a Firefox supporter for years, but as Chrome grows in popularity, so does my use of it. What about you?

Safari Security Flaw Gives Access to Your Info; Here's How to Fix It

GeekSugar — Thu, 22 Jul 2010 12:17:41 PDT

A digital security investigator has uncovered a major security flaw in Apple's Safari browser that gives away your personal information (like name, address, phone number, email address, country, etc.) via your Safari's AutoFill settings. This flaw affects Safari v.4 and the new feature-filled v.5.

What Happens
When you fill in your information on a website - say, you register for a product or newsletter and enter your name, email address, etc. - you can choose to have your details saved to Safari to autofill any information boxes later. It's this feature that allows malicious websites to gain access to your information, without you even clicking on anything or entering any info whatsoever, by extracting your Address Card data, and sending the details to the attacker. The whole process takes only seconds.

Find out how to protect yourself after the break.

Google Chrome Tackles Safari For Third Most Used Browser

GeekSugar — Sun, 03 Jan 2010 11:30:39 PST

Just over a year after its launch, Google Chrome has made quite an impact on your Internet browsing. Taking over the title as third most used browser from Safari, Chrome users now inhabit nearly five percent of the browser market, according to a recent report. Although Microsoft's Internet Explorer browser commands over 60 percent of Internet usage, and Firefox takes a 24 percent market share, Chrome has been a fast riser to the top of the browser game.

I use Chrome on a regular basis on my home computer (although it is still a little buggy), but I find it an easy transition to make from Firefox (the browser I use most at work). But what about you - are you using Google Chrome? What do you like or dislike about it?

Trend Alert: Urban Safari

FabSugar — Thu, 09 Jul 2009 14:00:22 PDT

Just because a look is casual that doesn't mean it isn't party apropos. Sophia Bush graced the red carpet for the OP campaign launch party in a getup fit for an urban safari. And let's take a moment to admire her fit stems - nice. It's refreshing to see something utilitarian and cool, versus dolled up and decked. Because of her basics - army-green shorts, white tank, brown blazer - the outfit required some glam, which she delivered via sexy crisscross Miu Miu sandals, a cascading gold necklace, and dainty clutch. The right mix of casual and lady will lead you to your very own faboo urban safari. Safe travels!

Apple's New OS: Snow Leopard

GeekSugar — Mon, 08 Jun 2009 11:03:53 PDT

Snow Leopard, Apple's new operating system, shows us that computing can be easy, not to mention fun! One new feature of Snow Leopard is Doc Exposé. Similar to the Exposé you know and love, Doc Exposé lets you single out documents or files that are open in specific applications.

Snow Leopard also boasts an upgraded Safari 4, which includes the new Top Sites feature that allows you to see a window of your favorite websites, as well as full-screen, full-color browsing history. It also features Stacks, which lets you organize faster and easier, and a sleek new Quicktime Player that lets you scrub through videos and movies right inside Quicktime. One last cool feature that stood out to me, though, was that after you install Snow Leopard, you'll actually get 6 GB of memory space back to fill with photos, movies, documents, whatever you want! It doesn't get any better than that.

Safari Launches a Mobile Version of Books Online

GeekSugar — Tue, 24 Feb 2009 02:03:54 PST

I still haven't gotten into the habit of reading eBooks on my cell phone. Call me crazy - because I seem to manage reading pages and pages of emails just fine - I just can't seem to wrap my mind around the idea of reading an entire book on my phone. But for those of you who have already jumped on the phone-reading bandwagon, Safari has just launched a mobile version of its online bookstore.

Accessed by visiting m.safaribooksonline.com on web-enabled cell phones, users can now search the Safari Books Online site to find books. And just a heads up to Safari books newbies, its library selection is basically filled with reference books related to technology, creative, and business and management categories.

Inspired: Ralph Lauren NY Fashion Week 2009

CasaSugar — Fri, 19 Sep 2008 07:45:58 PDT

Fashion Week may be over, but we've still got the runway images to gawk over. Since we can't sport the new gear 'til Spring, I figured I may as well use it as inspiration for interiors. The Ralph Lauren ensemble shown here is a bit costume-y, but I love its balance of rough, sporty safari elements with glamazon sequins, and its palette of army greens and rustic browns. The Momeni Metro Rug shares the palette but looks luxurious with its ombré effect, so I thought I'd use it as a jumping-off point for a room designed around this Ralph Lauren look. To see the items I've rounded up to achieve this glam safari living area,
