Change URL Search Engine

Many people use URL bar to query their preferred search engine. Internet url_searchengine Explorer makes it easy to change URL search engine by choosing a default search engine from search engine list box. However Firefox requires a little bit more to do.

In order to change URL search engine:

  1. Open Firefox and type "about:config" in the URL bar then press enter.
  2. In the filter text box type "keyword.url" then double click the result.
  3. By default it is set to Google search engine but if you would like to change it to your preferred search engine choose one of the following links:
    Live: "http://search.live.com/results.aspx?form=CHROME&q="
    Yahoo: "http://search.yahoo.com/search?p="

SRWare Iron: a fast browser without any problems at privacy and security

Anyone would prefer a fast web browser like Google chrome that could render a page of old Facebook smoothly but worry about his own privacy and security. As Google chrome received heavy criticism at privacy and security.

Google Chrome is based on the free Source code Chromium project. The Chromium project is released under the BSD license and there is a cool software company "SRWare" build it to people who care about their own privacy and called it SRWare Iron . Also they provide a comparison page between Google chrome and SRWare Iron. Here you a picture of SRWare Iron.

Warning faceilbook.com is a phishing website

I found that one of my friends in facebook get spammed from a website its The fake facebook domain faceilbook.com. It links you to the real facebook sign in page in order to steal your password. Then from your account it writes in your friend’s wall something like this:

Somebody wrote something really funny in their blog about you . everybody see it here http://leolafiker.blogspot.com

After that link redirect them to the same domain so take care and check the URL before you sign in.
