PicLens – 3D image browsing

just hat a great time toying around with PicLens, a browser-extension that displays image-streams in a semi-3D environment. controlling the image-stream is easy: use the scrollbar to swift through pictures quickly and smoothly, zoom using the mouse-wheel.

PicLens is available for Firefox, IE, Safari, works fullscreen, and basically supports any website offering RSS-feeds with enclosures (f.e. [...]

Flock 0.9 released!

Gecko-based web-browser Flock (Windows and Mac OS-binaries available) has been upgraded to version 0.9 earlier this week. 0.9 features even stronger integration with social web-services and blogging-tools than its predecessor – Flickr, Photobucket, YouTube, del.icio.us are supported out of the box, as well as most hosted & self-hosted blogging-tools. besides these well-known qualities, the Flock-team [...]

Mozilla Labs / The Coop

Mozilla Labs released some details on their upcoming project The Coop. Coop aims on integrating social networking features and easy sharing of web-content right into the browser (something Mozilla-based Flock has been promising for a while, but at least in terms of social networking not delivered fully yet). more details can be found on the [...]

Swift: WebKit-based browser for windows

Swift is a Windows-browser based on the WebKit rendering-engine used in Apple’s Safari. the idea is basically to give Windows-based web-developers a comfortable way to write cross-platform-compatible HTML, CSS & JavaScript. however, the current alpha-release of Swift isn’t mature enough to replace native testing on Safari: form-elements aren’t supported completely, pages render slightly different than [...]

beta: Firefox 2

beta 1 of Firefox 2 – codenamed ‘Bon Echo’ – was released to the general public earlier this week. current Firefox-users probably might not want to upgrade to Bon Echo yet, as most extensions don’t work with the new browser. at first glance, it looks like the Firefox-team is improving the browser only incrementally. besides [...]

dev: JavaScript debugger for Safari

as reported on Ajaxian, Webkit – the browser-engine powering Safari, Mail and other OS X applications – has finally received an integrated JavaScript-debugger called Drosera. since Safari’s implementation of JavaScript is differing from Firefox and others in some spots, this will ease life of many developers greatly.

If you’re a Mac user and haven’t been intrigued [...]

flock public beta released

as mike arrington announcend earlier, first public beta (v0.7) of firefox-based browser flock was released today. for it’s seamless integration of several webservices, flock is supposed to be the “web 2.0″-browser of choice:

flock fetches images of flickr- and photobucket-accounts, and furthermore allows drag&drop of images into html-areas (f.e. comment-boxes on blogs, user-profiles)
social-bookmark-services delicious and Shadows [...]

dev: customized typography with sIFR

during the last few days I’ve been diligently working on a web-application in the area of print/typography, featuring a browser-based text-editor with support for various fontfaces. the main problem in realizing such an editor is the impossibility to load arbitrary fontfaces (besides the standards, like helvetica, courier…) into the browser.
sIFR (Scalable Inman Flash Replacement), a [...]

release: opera mini 2.0

opera.com released version 2.0 of it’s portable mini-browser today… as a happy user of opera mini 1.x I couldn’t resist trying the new version. unfortunately, the installation-process via cellphone is not as convenient as it could be. I failed in trying to download the new 2.0-package with opera 1.x from http://mini.opera.com – the old [...]
