Google 瀏覽器採用極簡設計，專門提供更快速、簡單且安全的方式，讓您在存取網路時更直接輕鬆。

瞭解關於 Google 瀏覽器的資訊 »

瀏覽器的新視野

在Google，我們大部份時間都是通過網頁瀏覽器來工作的。我們用瀏覽器搜尋、聊天、收發email和協同工作。和大家一樣，工作之餘我們會用瀏覽器進行網路購物，使用電子銀行，閱讀網路新聞以及和朋友保持聯繫。人們將越來越多的時間用來上網，如今的網路應用是15年前網際網路剛剛出現時無法想像的。

因為我們將大量時間都花在網路上，我們開始認真思考如果重新量身打造，什麼樣的瀏覽器是最合適的。我們了解到網路已經從簡單的文本頁面進化到多媒體和互動應用廣泛普及的新時代，因此我們應該徹底地重新認識瀏覽器。我們需要的不僅僅是一個"瀏覽"器，而是一個現代化的平台，可以瀏覽網頁，使用網路應用，而那就是我們想要創造的。

所以今天，我們推出了一個嶄新的開放源碼瀏覽器：Google Chrome 測試版。

瞭解我們建構瀏覽器的原因。

大家就讓 世界看看我們華人的團結! 我毫不猶豫的在 MSN 名字前面加上 (l) China 了。 大家一同支持北京奧運。

http://www.eeo.com.cn/Politics/beijing_news/2008/04/16/96999.html

自4月14日開始，網絡上到處都是號召「msn名字前面請加（L）CHINA 讓全世界看看華人的團結。請轉發您的msn朋友」的帖子，MSN上大家不約而同地都在自己名字上掛上了「LOVE CHINA」的標誌。QQ裡也在號召大家把頭像統一換成國旗。至此，自「抵制家樂福」事件以來，MSN「紅心愛中國」行動似乎把民族主義的浪潮推向了新的高潮 ...

CnBeta 中報導了 Joost 的中文版呀.

下載:Joost v1.06 Beta 中文版

 New Features:

• Messenger Skinning: This new feature allows skins to be applied directly in the memory of Messenger. No file is changed, several skins can be installed and each of them is safe to use: no more installation or update problems caused by hard-patched skins. Change the way Messenger looks without problems. The first few skins are already available and many more will follow. Creating your own skin is easy, the skinning engine is fully documented in more than 30 pages of documentation.
• Compatible with Windows Live Messenger 9.0 Beta: Because 9.0 is still in a very early beta stage Plus' compatibility is considered to be beta too. Most things will work, but it isn't 100% perfect yet.
• Built-in scripts editor massively improved.
• Chat log viewer improved, including an option to search trough all your logs at once.
• un-installer.
• Major improvements and smaller new features throughout the whole program, way too many to list them all here, see the full changelog here.
• Insert a previously sent message in the text you're typing instead of replacing everything: press and hold the Control key when selecting the message in the Previous Messages panel.
• A new mode in the Contact List Clean-Up window which shows every contact who has you in their lists (including those not on yours). From this mode you can add the contacts back in your list or block/unblock them when needed.
• Event notifications can now be displayed in the information area of the conversation window (where "user is typing" is displayed).
• A new event notification for auto-accepted requests, and two new filters for the auto-accept feature: "send webcam" and "view webcam".
• Add a password hint for encrypted log files.
• Prevent "user is typing" notifications to be sent to your contacts.
• A new option to automatically separate the chat logs from different accounts into subdirectories with the user's email address.
• The /exit command closes all the current chats and exits Messenger.

Flock是基於FireFox核心的社會性瀏覽器，其開發人員在官方Blog上宣稱下一個版本Flock 1.0已基本開發完畢，在新的版本中它將會整合15個目前流行的網絡服務，並會來未來幾周內發佈。而在正式版發佈之前，為了滿足用戶的好奇心，Flock特意發佈了一個1.0 Beta版，現在已正式提供下載。

Flock集成了RSS、社會性網絡、圖片分享以及離線博客編輯等數多具有Web2.0特性的輔助功 能，所以在 Flock 上線初期就被很多行業人士予以了極大的關注，並標榜Flock為下一代的Web瀏覽器，它的光環甚至要蓋 過了當年Mozilla基金會組織和研發開源的Firefox。

Flock1.0 Beta相比之前洩露出來的0.9版增強了Sidebar側邊欄的應用，除了在0.9版本中已經包含的Twitter, Youtube, Delicious 個人帳戶管理以外，還新加入了Facebook, Magnolia 以及 Flickr 的Profiles。然而，拋開這些用戶體驗以及細節方面的功能設置以外，Flock1.0 Beta最大的賣點是增加了一個名為「Web Clipboard」的側邊欄網頁剪貼板模塊，用戶可以很方便的通過鼠標拖拽將自己喜愛的圖片，網址，文字等等放置到Flock的剪切板中。
