Internet, Security, Tutorials, , , , , , ,

Currently, almost all browsers like Firefox, Chrome, Internet Explorer give you an option of Private browsing which means that none of the browser history, search history, download history, web form history, cookies, or temporary internet files are stored by the browser. This is quite an useful feature especially if you do not want anyone to track your browsing habits and also in places cyber cafes etc.

Here is how you can determine if you are using the private modes of browsing:

Google Chrome:

Private browsing in Firefox Browsers is characterized by Purple color of the Firefox title on the left hand side. It generally is Red in color for normal mode

Yay! All you Angry Birds fans rejoice because your favorite game is now available for PCs and is currently available on Google’s Chrome browser via chrome webstore.

Here is a sneak peek of the Angry Birds games on a Dell Studio laptop:

 

 

Its available in two modes High Definition and Standard Definition. Currently there are two levels. The first one in Poached Egg (which is available across all the platforms like Android, Apple and Windows 7) while the second level is called Chrome Dimension.

Angry Birds for Google Chrome has a level called Chrome Dimension

After I installed the Angry Birds on Chrome, I just tried opening the http://chrome.angrybirds.com/ in Firefox 4 and Internet Explorer 9, the game started to load as well!!

Its Brilliant, give it a try. Another headache for the IT Admins for sure 🙂
