Lately, I've been really interested in reading more than two books at the same time. Actually, I have 2 other books that I've started in the past but haven't been able to finish them.

I define functional browsing such as bookmarking, blogging, web development testing and debugging, interactive web games, etc. It's simple enough in a sense that it gives you just enough for your typical web browsing needs, but not enough for more advanced browsing. Whenever I use Google Chrome, I always run on scenarios where I say to myself, "Oh yea, this is not Firefox. I wish Chrome can do that too". Read More...
