Opera releases Coast the iPad-only browser

Opera Software wants to redesign the look of mobile browsers (and perhaps browsers in general) with its new iPad-exclusive Coast browser. The new browser isn’t as unrecognizable as you would think. Actually, when you look at it, it resembles the home screen of an iPad with sites appearing as app-icon kind of squares and selecting said squares leads you to the sites. 

Keeping with iOS philosophy, it is a single-pane kind of experience with a single site taking up the entire screen. You would have to return to the home screen or use a discrete page switcher to jump from one website to the next. The company hopes this move would make browsing the web feel like viewing distinct apps instead of having one application with separate pages. You can download the browser for free on the iTunes App Store.

Google+ now automatically share Blogger posts

If you’ve linked your Google+ to your Blogger account, Google now automatically shares new blog posts publicly on its social network as soon as the post is published without additional clicks.

If you want to opt out of the feature, you can change your preferences in the Google+ tab on your Blogger Dashboard.
