Google Chrome vs Fav20

Dragos Stanca asked: What is the diffrence between fav20 and chrome?

Chrome

only shows most visited websites on the start page.

Fav20

sites are accesible in any browser;
lets you choose what sites to add in your start page;
lets you sort the websites as you like (drag&drop);

Fav20 users advantages vs Chrome:

access your saved websites from any computer
arranged them in categories, keep only your most important in your homepage
open multiple selected websites in one click (useful in the morning)
you don’t loose your favorite websites when you reinstall the computer or browser

Raluca Georgescu found fav20 interesting so far.

Few can understand the usefulness of fav20 unless they try it. Thanks Raluca for trying it, waiting for your feedback after few days of using it.

Fav 2.0 currently has about 250 happy active users that they use it as their browser homepage.

Categories/tabs are here !

Finally categories for fav 2.0 are done. Only registered users can use tabs.

You can set a category to be private or private ( ). (currently working to tweak a bit the category privacy module).

Small updates will also be given via twitter: fav20

Your feedback is much appreciated.

Easier to make your profile public

On fav20, I have added a new feature that lets you set public or private the newly added websites (this feature is available only for logged in users).

This won’t change privacy of current saved websites. To share the already saved websites you have to click on

Hint! To share your public profile you can use the link http://www.fav20.com/user/[your-username] (Ex: http://www.fav20.com/user/demo )

Present your work with public profile

A fav20 user, just contacted me and showed me a nice use of the public profile.

He created the domain danielmclellan.com and redirected to the fav20 profile to present his portofolio.

If anybody of you think of any other use please say. I will implement other features on the public profile.

Info about the website

Razvan Girmacea — Mon, 02 Feb 2009 13:05:24 +0000

For new visitors and the ones that are not registered, an information box will apear showing info about fav20.

You can close it by clicking the or icon.

Any other suggestions ?

Share your favorite websites with friends

You are now able to set websites visible to your public profile (example of demo user) and share it with your friends. Maybe they find something interesting you like and they can save it to their account too.

I plan to extend this to add profiles to friends and browse them so maybe you can find interesting websites from your network.

How useful do you find his feature and what else do you think it is needed ?

P.S. Don’t forget to share your profile with your friends.

Login / register box more user friendly

Razvan Girmacea — Tue, 11 Nov 2008 00:46:59 +0000

I have reworked the interface of fav20 for the login and register box. Now it draws attention to the exact action needed, and also can be closed easily by clicking X or outside.

I will use all of next popup boxes the same way from now on.

For those interested, I use SqueezeBox Javascript plugin for MooTools.

Your feedback on how it looks and feels is greatly appreciated.

Browsers accesskey shortcuts

Razvan Girmacea — Wed, 05 Nov 2008 10:46:42 +0000

The HTML attribute accesskey of the a tag allows you to access with your keywords various links on the website.

The problem is that each browser has it’s own version of using the accesskey:

Opera (on windows and mac) - SHIFT + ESC + accesskey
Other Mac browsers - CTRL + accesskey
FireFox 2.x and 3.x – ALT + SHIFT + accesskey
Internet Explorer (5.x,6.x,7.x) – ALT + accesskey then ENTER

For fav 2.0 I added for the first 9 sites accesskey from 1 – 9. You can sort the sites as you wish to drag & drop the first 9.
