By Administrator
The abbreviation " VPN " has slowly become established among average Internet users, which is certainly good, but the problem is that people have started to see VPN as the ultimate solution to all problems.

Firefox reduces memory hunger

Firefox reduces memory hunger

Mozilla Firefox 7, which will hit the market in September, will be significantly faster because it solved the problem that led to memory leaks, according to an official statement from the company.

Nicholas Nethercote states that the "MemShrink" project is most responsible for closing vulnerabilities in search engines and providing faster Firefox. Firefox 7 uses less memory than Firefox 6, but also versions 5 and 4, it is often 20% to 30% less, and sometimes even 50%, claims Nethercote. This means that Firefox is significantly faster, so it is less likely to crash, especially if a large number of Web sites are open at the same time.

Firefox has long faced criticism for using large amounts of RAM and for not freeing up memory when tabs are closed, which degrades browser performance, stops the browser from responding, or crashes.

Reduced memory usage should result in fewer crashes and shutdowns of Windows, where Firefox is designed as a 32-bit application and is thus limited to only 2GB of virtual memory. Firefox 7 is currently in the "Aurora" channel and will move to a more reliable beta build in mid-August. If Mozilla keeps its schedule for the rapid release of new releases, then the final version of Firefox 7 can be expected in late September.

The Internet on mobile devices is becoming more popular and has more and more users. As mobile internet expands, so do mobile browsers. Although the devices themselves already have built-in basic internet browsers, new browsers are constantly appearing. The reason is that each of the programs brings something new and useful. For example, Opera Mini is most popular on older phone models that use Java applications, while on Android platforms Chrome , Firefox ,  Dolphin , and xScope are more represented.

Sony Xperia Z5 Dual Sim review [video + images]

By Administrator
The Xperia Z5 is another great flagship model from the Z family of devices that Sony launched in September this year, about a month ago. The case design is great . The side edges are slightly curved to make the phone fit better in the hand, and the back of the device has a fine finish so there are no glare and fingerprints.
