In the recent post I have been trying to explain about the difference between “Suspend” and “Hibernate” options in Ubuntu. For which one should know about the difference between Volatile and Non Volatile Memory. Volatile Memory : A device which holds the data as long as it has power supply connected to it and cannot hold the memory when there is no power supply connected to it is called Volatile Memory. The best example for this can be Random Access Memory ( RAM ), which will hold memory only as long as it is connected to power source and everything in it will be cleared if it gets disconnected from power source. Volatile memory is also called as temporary memory as it will hold memory temporarily. Non Volatile Memory : A device which can hold data in it even if it is not connected to any power source is called Non Volatile Memory. The typical examples for Non Volatile Memory Read more

I generally use Mozilla Firefox but recently one of my friend asked me to help her in downloading youtube video. I know that there are many websites that could help her in downloading youtube videos but I wanted to add an extension so that it would be easy to download videos next time. After some time I realized that it is not so simple to install an extension that helps to download youtube videos through chrome store as it is against there policy 4.4.1 . Please find below screenshot. So what does this mean to you ? It means that there is no way you can find an extension that will help you to download youtube video’s but interestingly I found few extensions that will help you in downloading facebook, daily motion and vimeo videos. Anyways it is not our topic to discuss.So I have managed to find few third party extensions that will help you in downloading youtube videos. Read more

With the recent changes in installing chrome extensions, Whenever you try to install an extension from the source other than chrome webstore it won’t get installed and instead it shows a message saying Extensions,apps, and user scripts can only be added from the Chrome Webstore Why this change ? It is been stated as to protect users from installing malicious extensions, apps from the third party websites. According to one of the developer comment in code.google.com they have overlooked the popular user scripts in installation and implemented a fix to resolve the issue. This change was made to protect users. Off-store extensions have become a popular attack vector for compromising users of larger sites (e.g. Facebook). Since the trend is only getting worse, we’re putting the power back in the user’s hands by allowing them to control where extensions are installed from. By default, the Chrome Webstore is the only source, but users and administrators will be able to add Read more

There are many browsers available in internet hence the choice of making one particular browser as default comes into picture.
