Indev’s FlashMute is a handy tool which allows you to mute either all Flash movies or your entire browser, which is useful when you’re listening to music on your PC while browsing. It supports most popular browsers.
I’m a diehard fan of Firefox, but I’m still interested in trying out the alternatives. Opera, once a commercial product, has been free since version 8.5, and the beta version of Opera 9 is now available for download. It promises the fastest, most secure browsing experience ever, and includes several new features including widgets (small Web applications, similar to Konfabulator, Windows Vista Sidebar and the Mac OS X Dock), a built-in BitTorrent client, customisable ad blocking and more. Compatibility-wise, I’ve had no problems viewing any of my usual sites, and it does seem fairly speedy. So far, my only complaint is that the interface isn’t as light as that of Firefox, but switching the skin to Windows Native has made things a little easier on the eyes.
You can download the beta from the Opera website.
Opera Software have announced the worldwide release of Opera Mini, the full Web browser that runs on almost every mobile phone, including low- and mid-end handsets.
I’ve tried it, and I’m very impressed – it’s an improvement over the default browsers included on my Nokia 6100 and Sony Ericsson K750i – and it’s available as a free download. Go to opera-mini.com to find out more.
