I posted recently about Lifehacker’s inital tests between beta versions of Chrome, Firefox and IE. Well they’ve been asked to provide more detailed results. This time they’ve provided a breakdown of speed, memory, etc between Chrome, Opera, Safari, Firefox and IE – take a look for yourself to see the results – some interesting “winners” in certain categories.

Up until recently you’ve had the two main camps, those favouring Mozilla’s Firefox browser and the die-hard Internet Explorer, can’t/won’t be bothered to change, users. I mentioned recently that Google had entered the browser war-games and not too long after that I gave you my first impressions of Google Chrome (beta).

Well with the advent of Google Chrome and Internet Explorer 8 (beta) and the already available extensions for Firefox the battle for the browser is ON! As usual the team at Lifehacker have done another analysis of the newer features the different browsers are competing with – take a look for yourself and decide which browser you think is going to win and which if the features you think will make that browser the top-contender. Chrome’s market share of browser usage ist increasing fast, yes it’s new, and quite stable for a beta, but will it live up to people’s expectations?

With the richness of the web these days wouldn’t it be nice to search for stuff with a better looking user interface? Stop imagining and start using!

I’ve just come across PicLens by cooliris which is a browser plugin for IE, FireFox and Safari that gives you an immersive view of images, photos and videos on various websites like Google, YouTube, Amazon and more.

Searching content providers is easy

It’s a small plugin, less than 2MB in size and once loaded pick your favourite content provider, type in your search as above and get offered a wonderful fully-interactive wall of images.

If you’re an avid photographer and want to enable PicLens for your own website/blog they even show you how in their Webmaster’s Guide and PicLens Lite.

And, it’s FREE – what are you waiting for?
