The following two pictures are the different prompt when Chrome and IE to download the same file. And you will find the difference between them. Chrome is still only two options, save and cancel until the 6.x Dev version, when Chrome downloads the files. In fact IE browser owns a third option: Run. It is very practical, sometimes we just open the view of a picture or document, it can close the external application automatically disappeared from the cache. Of course it will not remain in the download folder which takes up valuable disk space.

After all the Chrome team has realized this. The similar function description appears in the latest design of a Chromium document. The right-click will link to the file. There will be new option open directly and not to save at the disk. These downloaded files are still in the chrome: / / download of Chrome download history.

As we know, Google's security bug bonus plan is just followed after the Mozilla. Mozilla had upgraded award amount to 3000 U.S. dollars.

A few days ago, Mozilla updated their security bug award program, to reward who find out bug of Firefox browser, Desktop, Thunderbird e-mail client, and mobile version of Firefox browser and other software. This is paid close attention for a huge increase over the previous bonus.

Faced with the rich Google, Mozilla Corporation will just be ordinary well-off homes, since Google ups highest reward amount to 3133.70 U.S. dollars for Chrome security flaws. However, this requires users to report vulnerabilities achieve "critical" level. Of course, it's fact that users find it more difficult to discover serious bug. Google is still pay 500 dollars bonus for general security flaw ,but for the expert who occasionally earn some money is pretty good income.
