Font Rendering on Web Browsers

It is interesting how different Web Browsers render fonts. I wonder why Google Chrome on this particular computer running Windows 7 doesn’t render the fonts correctly.

Firefox 3D Web-Inspector

There is one feature in Mozilla Firefox that most users don’t even know it exist; a 3D Web-Inspector. Bring up the contextual menu by right clicking (OS X – control-click) on the page and select “Inspect Element”.

Then click on the Cube at the bottom-right section.

Inspect-Element-3D-Cube-button

Use the cursor to rotate the page for 3-dimensional view.

Preview Microsoft New Home Page, as long as you’re not using Safari.

Microsoft is giving a sneak peek at its new home page. According to Microsoft, to view the new home page your computer must meet the following requirement:

  • Windows 7 or Windows Vista with one of the following browsers: Internet Explorer 9 or 8, Mozilla Firefox 3.x, or Google Chrome 8.x

It is odd that Microsoft is supporting Chrome right away, while the other Webkit-based browser namely Safari is not supported.

By the way, Chrome for Mac OS X can view the home page just fine.
