Remember the Google Chrome 5 Developer Release we posted about earlier? Well that particular version has just seen a minor upgrade. The missing content options under Tools > Options > Under the hood > Content Settings… have now been added.

The new options let you control which sites are allowed the use of certain content like Cookies, Images, JavaScript, Plugins and Popups. You can create allow and deny settings on a per-site basis allowing you increased control over your web-browsing experience.

The developer channel of Google Chrome today pushed out a new major version again, Google Chrome 5. Just like the previous version update, there seems to be no major new features, yet Google has decided to update the major build number.

The only change I was able to spot was a new Content Settings option under the privacy section (screenshot bellow), which allows users to tweak different content like images, cookies, JavaScript etc on a per-site basis.

Mozilla have released yet another update to the latest beta version of its popular browser – Firefox 3.6. The new beta, labeled revision 5 is said to address over a 100 issues from the previous beta release of the browser.

Interestingly, this release also makes Firefox 3.6 one of the only few versions of the browser, which have remained on the beta branch for so long, even though Mozilla itself claims this release to be stable. Another highlight for the Beta 5 release is that, now about 70% of that huge library of add-ons is compatible with Firefox 3.6, so you can rest assured the most of your favorite extensions would work with the new version – though there still might be a couple of loose bolts here and there.

After weeks of waiting, Firefox 3.6 has finally reached the Beta milestone. The latest version of the browser has many newer features and performance improvements compared to Firefox 3.5 which was also recently updated to 3.5.4.

Firefox is getting a brand new feature with its next service update – Firefox 3.5.3 (No they won’t call it Firefox 4.0 just because of one new feature). It will warn users about outdated plugins, starting with the insanely popular Adobe Flash Player in the upcoming update.

As the Mozilla Developer blog points, about 80% of the users are running an outdated version of the player which is but surprising and alarming in my opinion. Of course I don’t expect everyone to upgrade to alpha/beta builds like I do but still, at least keep up with the latest stable release. Keeping your software up to date means your safe from most known vulnerabilities which may harm your computer or information.
