I'm experimenting by switching from Safari on my Mac OS X system to Google's new Chrome system (well, actually I am running Chromium, the software build release that includes support for extensions) and the one thing I really miss is 1Password. Is there any way to add that to Chrome??...

As a contributing author to a weblog about South Africa's upcoming World Cup 2010 (see The South Africa Project) I was rather surprised the other day when I went to log in to our Wordpress blog, just to see the following warning in my Web browser: What does it mean? How can we get this sort of warning from our own site, without ever opening up anything or getting any indication that we'd be hacked...

I don't know how it changed, but suddenly the default search engine on my Apple iPhone 3G is Yahoo, not Google. Now I like Yahoo as much as the next guy, but I really want Google back. How the heck do I change the default search engine in Safari??...

I am quite frankly baffled why a huge company like Google would pay a bunch of programmers to develop yet another web browser, when we have Internet Explorer for Windows from Microsoft, Safari for Mac OS X from Apple, and the great third-party Firefox free web browser for both Mac and PC. What am I not seeing about companies that pay to develop software and then distribute it without charge?...

I just upgraded to Firefox 3.0 on my Mac OS X system, along with millions of other people apparently, and just realized that one feature I've lost is the ability to view PDF files within the Web browser.

A few months ago I switched from Safari to Flock as my main Web browser and generally I'm happy with the program and love the additional social networking capabilities, but I'm puzzled by one thing: how do I edit my bookmarks?

A pal of mine uses a program called Roboform on her PC to keep her site passwords all synchronized between her different Web browsers and as a Mac user I figure there's got to be at least as good a solution, if not better on my new Macintosh. So how do you manage your passwords?...

I have a Dual 2Gig G5 running the latest version of Mac OS X. I'm having difficulty getting all of the "buttons" on a certain webpage from showing up in Safari. They show up fine when I log in to my account. They used to show up fine when logged in on my wife's account, but now they no longer appear. What could cause something like this to be blocked on one account, but not...

I'm darn concerned! Every time I start up my Apple Safari browser, I find that the program has remembered every search I've done, whether from the Google search box or when I'm actually on the Google home page. What the heck? How can I disable this "feature" and regain my privacy?...
