Google Chrome 27 vs. Firefox 22 vs. Opera 15 vs. Internet Explorer 10

New web browser benchmark results are here.
With fresh releases from almost every company, guys at TomsHardware did a series of tests on their Windows 8 machine to find out exactly, which browser should you chose if you are not tied to a specific UI or add-ons that are exclusive to one ecosystem.
Although Internet Explorer 11 is missing from action, we expect to see updated results fairly soon.

Startup Time

Page Load Time Performance

Javascript Benchmarks

Hardware Acceleration

Page Load Reliability

Conclusion

And here you have it, guys. Firefox is back and it’s a winner. However, TH notes that while Google Chrome 27 lead in almost every category, it was Chrome’s inability to render pages properly and launch on time, that caused it to lose against Firefox when all results were summed up.
And let’s be honest, all web browser are pretty good right now so just chose whichever you like the most. Okay, maybe IE10 is not exactly marvels but with Internet Explorer 11 just around the corner, our point stands. As far as Opera 12 goes, it’s dead anyway.

How to switch back to old compose-new-email method in Gmail

How to switch back to old compose-new-email method in Gmail

Do the following to turn off Gmail’s new compose-new-email pop-up window and return back to the old method:

• Visit http://gmail.com and log into your account.
• Once logged it, click on the red “COMPOSE” button so the new compose-new-email pop-up window appears.
• Once the pop-up window appears, click on the down arrow button:

• Next click on “Switch back to old compose” (UPDATE: Google plans on eventually disabling old compose method completely. Now you can only “Temporarily switch back to old compose” and later you won’t be able to switch back at all):

• Done! Once you click on “Switch back to old compose”, the page will reload and you will have the old method back again.
