Tell Google What You Love. It Will Do The Rest

Google offers so many services now, it's hard to keep up to date with them
all. And even harder if you want to use all those different services to find
out about a single subject. Thankfully, there's now an answer in the form of
a rather neat Google site called What Do You Love where in standard Google
fashion you just enter something into the search box. In a couple of seconds
you'll see dozens of links to areas of interest about your chosen topic. This
is not a service that will appeal to highly experienced searchers but I can
see it being quite handy for many average users. - Gizmo

How to be Safer and Speed Up Your Surfing with this New Security Feature in the Firefox and Chrome Browsers

Recently both Firefox and Chrome have added a security feature called
"Click-to-play"" When enabled, it prevents certain plug-ins like Adobe
Flash, Java, and Microsoft Silverlight from automatically running as you
browse websites. In addition to providing greater security, blocking Flash
and other plug-ins makes browsing faster. Here's how to enable this feature
in Chrome and Firefox.

Force Your Browser To Open Your Home Page On Each New Tab

Some of the leading web browsers have changed the way they operate recently.
They still let you specify a home page, which will open up when you start the
browser. But when you open a new tab, you get the browser's own choice of
page rather than your specified home page. Thankfully there are add-ons for
all the major browsers that give you back complete control of how new tabs
load. Here's where you can find them.

fewer resources than a full-featured browser.

Manage Your Dual Boot Entries Easily

If you already have your machine set to dual-boot, you'll be familiar with
the screen that appears when you start the computer, which asks you which OS
to start. Under Windows 7, you can edit the details on that screen by using
the msconfig utility (from the Start button, type msconfig into the search
box and then, when it loads, look at the Boot tab). But although this lets
you change the delay timer from the default 30 seconds, and also allows you
to change the default OS that will be loaded when time runs out, it won't let
you change the name of the installed operating systems. So you're still, for
example, stuck with Windows 7 and, er, Windows 7. The official Microsoft way
to change these is with a command-line tool called bcdedit, but it's fiddly
and complicated. Much easier to use this excellent Windows app, which is free
for non-commercial use. Once you've downloaded it and installed, click on
Edit Boot Menu and amend your dual boot settings as you wish.

Free Chrome Browser Add-In Zooms Thumbnails On Mouse Hover

Web site designers like to keep the size of their pages small, in order to
fit more content on the page and to reduce the time they take to download.
This means that it's common for a web page to include thumbnail photos which
are uncomfortably small to view, but which can be expanded by simply clicking
on the small image. Trouble is, when you want to expand an image, how do you
know whether it's clickable or not? Do you have to waste your time clicking
thumbnails in order to find out which ones can be expanded? Not any more.
Download a free add-in for the Chrome browser and, on any supported site,
merely hovering the mouse over an image will display a larger version if one
is available.

View And Block Trackers, Bugs And Other Web Usage Monitors

Most web pages that you view nowadays contain one or more (often many, many
more) tricks and techniques that allow the operator of the web site to
monitor your usage of that site. This is often done purely for marketing and
advertising reasons . For example, a typical web page might contain multiple
adverts, each of which has a unique ID number attached to the image so that,
if you click the advert, the advertiser knows who clicked it. Click a similar
advert on a different site entirely, and those 2 clicks can be linked in
order to identify you as an interested potential purchaser. If you're
concerned about such things, and would like to protect your privacy when
you're surfing try this free utility. It's available as an add-on for all the
major web browsers and it works a treat.

NEW: How to Customize These Notifications to Your Needs

Yesterday I announced that we will be moving the majority of items relating
to mobile apps from these announcements to a new mobile apps feed. This was
to better serve our mobile users and also to stop annoying our Windows users
with content not relevant to their needs. But we are going one step further.
Today I'm letting you know that we are now offering a more selective version
of this feed you are now reading. The new will feed not replace the current
feed but will be offered as an alternative. It will be just the same as the
current feed except that it won't have any items about: - Computer games -
Screensavers - Linux and Mac utilities In other words it will be just about
free Windows utilities, Windows Tips and useful free web services - a kind of
more focussed version of the current feed to which you subscribe. It will be
published 4-5 times a week rather than daily. What you need to do: If you
happy with the current mix of items in this feed you don't have to do
anything as you will still get daily notifications just like in the past. If
you want to receive the new Windows focussed feed then you should cancel your
subscription to this feed and subscribe instead to the new feed. If you
subscribe by email you can cancel using the unsubscribe link at the bottom of
every email notification. If you subscribe by RSS just delete the feed from
your RSS reader. To subscribe to the new feed by email click the following
link:
http://feedburner.google.com/fb/a/mailverify?uri=GizmosFreewareTopWindowsArticles
To subscribe to the new feed by RSS add the following feed address to your
RSS reader or web service:
http://feeds.feedburner.com/GizmosFreewareTopWindowsArticles The new feed
will be published 4-5 times weekly compared to 7 times a week for the
existing notifications. That's because the content is the same but with some
items such as computer games left out. Because the content is duplicated
there is no point in subscribing to both feeds. Gizmo
http://www.techsupportalert.com/content/new-gizmos-freeware-now-offering-new-windows-only-rssemail-feed.htm

Interested in Mobile Apps? Then Gizmo's has Something New Just for You

Interest in mobile apps has become so great that I've decided that mobile
apps should have their own RSS/Email notification service. So in the future
most items about mobile apps will be moved from this feed to a new feed
called "Gizmo's Freeware Mobile Apps." If you are interested in the best new
free Apple iOS and Android mobile apps you should subscribe to that feed now.
How to subscribe to the new mobile apps feed: Email:
http://feedburner.google.com/fb/a/mailverify?uri=GizmosFreewareMobileApps
RSS: http://feeds.feedburner.com/GizmosFreewareMobileApps Subscription is of
course free and can be canceled at any time and we will never email you
anything but the notifications for the feed. And if you want to, you can
continue to subscribe to this feed and the new mobile feed as well. In fact
if you are interested in Windows utilities and mobile apps as well then
subscribing to both feeds is a good idea. Tomorrow I've got some more news:
we will be giving you more choice what kind of items that appear in this
feed. So all of you who hate games and wallpapers will be able to opt out of
those items. Full details tomorrow. - Gizmo
