Watch higher quality video on YOUTUBE

The URL Hack. Add &fmt=18 to the end of a normal YouTube URL. If there's a high quality version available, that extra string will cause it to load. For eg:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jqZIYsyFvmk [Normal Link]
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jqZIYsyFvmk&fmt=18 [Higher Quality]

Alternatively,
You don't need a URL hack or Firefox extension to force YouTube to send you videos in the highest quality that's available: in your Account settings, you can tell YouTube to default to the higher-res, better audio version of clips when they're available. Apparently YouTube automatically detects your connection speed and chooses which video to feed you by default, but if you're always on a fast connection, changing this setting will hook you up straight away.

Now enjoy your videos :)

Firefox vs Chrome : which is better browser

Google released its own browser Google chrome sometime back in the market dominated by IE and Firefox. So, does it have what it takes to be a market leader. Is it good enough to challenge Firefox ever increasing market share. Lets find out.



MOZILLA FIREFOX:

Pros-
  • Safe and secure.
  • Numerous Add ons
Cons-
  • Not good where it matters i.e. browsing speed.
  • Slow to start and eats lot of memory.

The firefox is the only browser which at the moment threatning to dislodge IE from the top spot. The browser supported by google has been growing in market share ever since it was launched. The browser gained popularity because of its safety and security features and is now supported by numerous addons which have become a part of the life of the users using it. The recently launched Firefox 3 became the most downloaded software in the world in a single day. The overwhelming response was however overshadowed by the disappointment shown by the users. The fiefox 3 added som features like easy bookmark option etc but it wasnt very stable and many users reverted back to the firefox v2 for this reason.

The add ons that were supposed to be the main strength of the browsers popularity have however now posing a problem as they tend to make browser slow to start and even the browsing speed at the websites is slower than its counterparts. It takes a lot of RAM for very few tabs which is also a big drawback for computers having less RAM. Keeping these points in mind lets discuss Google Chrome.

GOOGLE CHROME -

Pros:
  • Fast startup
  • Light on system
  • Clean interface
  • Web browsing is faster.
Cons:
  • No support for addons
  • No version for Linux or Mac
  • The interface is not to the liking of many people.
When i see Chrome i feel like that google has tried to incorporate all the features that Firefox was missing into its browser. The load time is very minimum. The browsing speed on sites is faster compared to ff. The interface is clean and saves a couple of lines on the screen however, its not liked by many ppl for the same reason but i dont have nay problem with the interface personally. The only thing missing from the browser is add-ons support. i'm sure many ppl will switch to Chrome(including me) as soom as add-on support is added.

Hmm, and did i forgot to tell that things arent looking good for IE8 :D
