Firefox 5 was officially today. Mozilla has gone to a rapid release cycle, much like Chrome. The new Firefox contains improvements, fixes and patches, plus is the first Web Browser to Support Do Not Track on Multiple Platforms.
“The latest version of Firefox includes more than 1,000 improvements and performance enhancements that make it easier to discover and use all of the innovative features in Firefox. This release adds support for more modern Web technologies that make it easier for developers to build amazing Firefox Add-ons, Web applications and websites.”

Earlier this week, GoDaddy announced that it is on the .xxx train. It joins about 50 other registrars that have so far been approved to sell domains with the .xxx TLD.
“The company has not yet announced pricing, but other registrars have started advertising .xxx domains for a minimum of $75 per name per year – about ten times the price of the cheapest .com domain rates.”
We will have to wait a few more months before seeing the pricing. General registration in the new porn-only extension is expected to begin in the fourth quarter.
The guys that founded GeoTrust are giving away free 3-year SSL certificates with their new company called AffirmTrust.
The company promises to make SSL more affordable, and is targeting the budget end of the market, where the fastest-growing provider is currently Go Daddy, with its $50 certificates.
Free certificates come with:
- 128 bit encryption
- Quick issuance (same day)
- 3 year certificate validity period
- AffirmTrust site seal
- Highest security standards
- Backed by the co-founders of GeoTrust
- 100% FREE
- Founder Member Status – Get AffirmSSL FREE now and become a founding partner and as AffirmTrust charges for future products you will always receive a 25% discount
- Unlimited license
- Unlimited re-issues
AffirmTrust has a website online at http://www.affirmtrust.com but won’t actually open for business until July (currently open for pre-registrations, exact launch date is unknown). They plan on making money by offering their premium certificates with extended validations for $450. So if you are looking for an SSL, this could be the choice to save you money!
Google has started using its HTTP-boosting SPDY protocol to speed up almost all SSL web traffic between Chrome browsers and Google’s web services. Initial reports are that this is boosting speed by 15%+.
SPDY is an application layer protocol designed to improve the speed of the aging HTTP. The protocol has been available with Chrome since the sixth version of the browser, but at this point, it only kicks into action when the browser is used with Google services and a few other test platforms. At this point, Google services use SPDY exclusively with SSL connections.
SPDY was first supported in Chrome 6. But only recently has Google started using the protocol frequently. Google is now using the protocol about 99 per cent of the time (the other 1% is being used as a control group so they can measure the effectiveness of SPDY).
More info on SPDY is available at http://www.chromium.org/spdy/spdy-proxy
