Maxthon launches web browser for Android tablets

Tuesday, June 28, 2011



Maxthon has launched a new version of its Android web browser designed for tablets. The app supports Android 1.6 and up, so you can install it on virtually any Android device, but the new browser has a user interface meant to take advantage of the extra screen real estate you get on a 10 inch tablet.
The feature list is virtually identical to the one for Maxthon’s smartphone web browser, but elements of the user interface including the navigation buttons have been moved to the top of the screen next to the location bar. The thumbnail icons for bookmarks on the new tab page are also larger, and there’s a new icon which you can tap to bring up the settings menu
.


Other features that make Maxthon attractive include an integrated RSS reader, support for gestures, tabbed browsing, and the ability to synchronize your bookmarks across devices if you use Maxthon on a PC or another mobile device.

Web Browser Conflicts Explained

Monday, June 13, 2011

The Opera browser ranks behind Internet Explorer, Mozilla Firefox, Safari, and Netscape in popularity. It is now free for personal use. Some of its security concepts and other features have influenced development of the other main browsers.

A recent web template was made elastic ("fluid" or "liquid") using the DIV element instead of TABLE for layout and variable font sizes. A floating text box (DIV) was added so that it remained fixed as the user scrolled down through a page. The results looked great in FireFox 2.x, and nearly the same in Opera 9.x and Safari 3.x, except that "fixed" box scrolled in Safari. For Internet Explorer 7.x, the fixed box scrolled, spacings differed, text background colors didn't stay with highlighted text, and some menu colors (for active, hover, visited links) were totally screwed up. In other words, IE 7, supposedly free of bugs found in prior releases, is not usable for this design template.

Rather than load down the template design with work-arounds for IE, it was replaced with a TABLE layout for positioning, plus some other HTML Tags/Elements on menus and text selections. It still has elasticity and variable font sizes from dimensioning mostly in "em" and "%" rather than "px".

The logo.jpg image stays fixed in size when font size is changed, for FireFox and Safari, but is elastic for Opera and Internet Explorer. Either is acceptable if the base image has adequate resolution, namely upwards of 144 dots or pixels per inch, perhaps minimum 300. The 72 ppi that Adobe recommends for screen images is more suited for small icons.

For the uncommitted web designer, it seems that ease of coding for these four browsers ranks as FireFox, Opera, Safari, Internet Explorer, with IE being a problem. Netscape is no longer an issue, but it is the ancestor of FF.

IE browser through version 7 still does some things differently from the other most popular browsers. As a consequence, a lot of web design effort is wasted on making web pages work the same for IE as for other browsers. One workaround is to have web pages check the browser in use, then switch CSS style sheets or JavaScript definitions to match. The alternative is for page builders to design for only one browser, usually justified with a statement "optimized for nnnnn browser".
