Which Is The Best Browser in 2012

Browsers are what people use to search and browse the web every day, but seeing that there are many browsers providing different functions and usability, the browser market gets flooded by some new browsers trying to be popular too, they are still some browsers which people use the most and are undisputed in the friendly UI and great speed combined with customization to make up one wonderful browser.

Lets take a look at the present popularity of the Top 3 browsers in 2012:

 Mozilla Firefox as one of them has a great user base at 36.3% share of the browser market according to “w3schools.com” while the leading popular browser by Microsoft: Internet Explorer 9 at 18.9% its showing that this browser is currently a failure and needs to improve because its share is losing in very fast pace. Another browser which is Google chrome leading this year at 37.3% clearly shows how people love Google Chrome and Google did their best to advertise their browser everywhere around the web to reach and increase its user base easily.

Now which is regarded as the best browser in 2012?

Looking at other browsers usability and customization like Firefox it used to be the best and most popular rising browser in the past but it failed and it loosed most of its user base to Google Chrome because it was clustered with high memory usage and it hanged the browser most times and same goes to Microsoft Internet Explorer 9 its current user base is deteriorating as people move to more customizable and UI Friendly browsers. But Google Chrome has never seen a drop on its user base as of late and shows that its currently the rising browser on the market.

After having an insight of the other browsers finally the crown goes to..... (You guessed it)Google Chrome. Google Chrome is regarded the best browser because it provides the maximum browsing speed, has extensions/add-ons which have nearly the same library of extensions as Firefox but much better as chromes extensions have more “Quality” over what Firefox has which is “Quantity”. Chrome is known for being not quite resource heavy, it even has a task manager too for managing and reducing memory usage try pressing “Shift+Esc” you can kill processes of different tabs and extensions easily, last but not least it has  an awesome clean and simple friendly UI which is the part where people look at most when choosing the browser for their needs.

So here we have our winner as “Google Chrome” but we’d like to know which is your best browser in 2012? Which browser are you currently using now? Please let us know from the comments section below.

PayPal is the most loved way to buy items worldwide using online shops like EBay, Amazon and others. In fact it’s the number one used service which helps to shop online quickly and securely.

Why choose PayPal?

When paying for items you purchased on an Online Shop you would normally provide your Credit/Debit card details and your card verification number. Now this could be dangerous if someone knows your CRDB Card number and the CVV (Card Verification Code) printed at the back of your card, he could steal all your money and unfortunately you would end up being bankrupt. Now to avoid all this fuss you need to register your Credit Card/Debit Card with PayPal because they will help you to purchase anything online without the need of your credit card/details to be revealed to the Online Store you’re buying from.

Does PayPal charge me?

There's no charge to open a PayPal account and also there is no charge to purchase items using your PayPal account.

After understanding the reasons to why you need PayPal for your online purchasing needs. Let’s get straight to the fun part on how to actually Register/Verify your Credit Card on PayPal with the following easy steps:

To verify with PayPal they will charge you 1.95 USD and refund you after you have confirmed your card. To confirm your card they send a 4-digit PayPal code to your CRDB Bank account. You would need to check it on your CRDB Credit card statement. It will take 2-3 days for the 4-digit PayPal code to appear so be patient.

NOTE: To use the Internet Banking service from CRDB you first need to request them to activate the service on your VISA debit card with CRDB if you haven’t done that yet.

• You should Have Two Referees (wadhamini) who will be responsible for anything that happens to your account. (You could ask anyone to be your referee as long as you trust him/her)

• Initial deposit for opening an account is only 20,000/=

Gain Admin access using guess account for Beginners

After writing about gaining admin access in school computers, today I make a follow up of that article with gaining admin access using a guest account. This is more useful if you can’t use the first method to gain admin privileges.

So, normally a guest account wouldn’t have access to admin files or any normal user’s files because he doesn’t have the required permissions to access them. But do you know that you could find a way around and gain admin access? It’s pretty easy, let me explain you the trick with the following steps.

Step1: Go to C:/Windows/System32 and copy the file cmd.exe and paste it on your desktop.

Step2: Rename the file cmd.exe to sethc.exe and copy-paste it to C:/Windows/System32  windows will prompt that file already exists but just press OK.

Step3: Now you need to logoff the guest account and try to gain access to the admin account.

Step4: After logging off, at the login screen press shift 5 times, Tadaa! Command prompt will appear with Admin privileges so with admin privileges you can add new users or change files using command prompt.

Now after gaining access with admin account using this trick you can add users, change users, delete users, files and do pretty much anything an admin would normally do.

To add a new user type command as:

• net user username /add

To add the user to admin group type command as

• net user localgroup administrators username /add
