Geeking Out.

Gillian Densmore
Trying out a few other browsers because as cool as chrome can be a few things about it I find a bit frustrating.
(looking at you pandora and random updates)

 Maelstrom (forked from Chrome), SeaMonkey, Portable FireFox, 

and found out there's a portable app retro version of FireFox 25 made by fans of the app. It can be nice because it's zippy and just works (for now)

MaxThon and
Maelstrom's Big Thing that's pretty darn sexy is it somehow does some sexy mojo to make all websites  act a little like a KazaNode and is moving from Chromium to some realy damn cool tech to be all InTheCloud in a hybrid way- Grabs a coppy of the webpage then stores (temporarily for now)  on your computer.
MaxThon is offering a free service while in beta to  store parts of the website on there servers.


FireFox25Portable isn't all that new. It just awsome that it's there and fans that liked that version as it was zippy and just worked. services use plugins that people are moving from. 


I also discovered that a company called Zoho and Nevron have a kind of ShareWareish  wordprocessors. What's cool about them is they can run in your browser if internet is working or without just fine (My internet goes down quite a bit).
Zoho is pretty cool because it's zippy and saves automagically. It'll turn what ever your working on into html, or PDF free.


Anyway carryon! just had to geek out a bit.

One snag about FFPortable is the History is quirky. SeaMonkey (not so portable) has a pretty good history. I find that dead usefull,  for looking(THING HERE) 

 I don't like chromes history because it doesn't show the URL and name or the pages. Plus searching it is...um a VacumeToBeFilled.
