NetEnt is a Sweden-based gaming software company known for its games characterized by smooth and swift play. The performance of its online slots and other games may vary according to different browsers. For high-roller players, NetEnt has games that can be accessed using a web browser. They are loved by seasoned gamblers for their simplicity of usage. 

You don’t need to download any software or plugins to play these games. They have Flash or HTML5 support built-in them along with all the required tools. Additionally, these games offer advanced protection and anti-tracking systems. They’re designed to minimize the risk of hacking.

Now, let’s take a look at some of the best browsers for the casino games of NetEnt:

1. Google Chrome

Chrome is one of the most preferred web browsers among many of online gamblers. Among the prominent features of this browser is its versatility. Although it defaults to HTML5, you can move to the in-built Flash Player upgraded with the whole version. 

The players of NetEnt’s online casino games would certainly like to have the unnecessary clips and banners blocked. However, there are certain things that they’ll not be happy about. One of them is the fact that Chrome can be a bit slow at times.

2. Mozilla Firefox

Many are of the opinion that Firefox is the best browser ever created. Mozilla offers plenty of useful and free plugins for its users. The browser has a special invisibility mode, which is fabulous for added protection. However, this doesn’t mean that it won’t disappoint certain users. 

The number of Firefox’s side components may hamper the overall performance. The downloadable Flash Player, which is pretty much required for playing online casinos, might crash after several hours. It is, therefore, of great help sometimes to reload Firefox and clean up the excessive cache and cookies.

3. Opera

There was a time when Opera was considered the best browser for playing games that used Flash and HTML5. In recent times, its popularity has somewhat waned. Although it’s not so popular today, people still use it to play online casinos. Two of its most noticeable features are its flash-friendliness and swiftness. Some may experience certain problems using Opera for playing online casino games. 

The graphics may not look good or the game may crash while it’s still on. Perhaps the most annoying of all the problems would be the slow performance of certain NetEnt slots. Nevertheless, when it comes to playing online casino games, Opera is still a trusted browser.

4. Safari

Well-built and highly rated for its performance, Safari is also an excellent choice in web browsers. It has been a favourite among many of the players of online casinos for the past few years. This is especially true with those playing games that use Flash. Safari has improved support for HTML5. 

This is good for the high roller online casino games of NetEnt. Still, it needs some improvements when it comes to functionality and design. The biggest advantage of this browser is its simplicity. As all the required plugins are built into the browser, Safari is good even for the toughest of games.

How User Consent Can Transform Mozilla Firefox https://www.informationisart.com/2021/11/18/how-user-consent-can-transform-mozilla-firefox/ https://www.informationisart.com/2021/11/18/how-user-consent-can-transform-mozilla-firefox/#respond Thu, 18 Nov 2021 16:15:17 +0000 https://www.informationisart.com/?p=28 Over the years, Mozilla Firefox has revolutionized internet browsing in a big way.

Over the years, Mozilla Firefox has revolutionized internet browsing in a big way. A new feature has been released in Firefox recently called Enhanced Tracking Protection (ETP). The third-party cookies are automatically blocked by this feature by default. The decision to enable ETP by default was revealed a year before its release. ETP had an immediate effect on the revenue of publishers. 

This was noticed particularly in the markets where Mozilla Firefox had a high market share. At the time, Firefox’s browser share in Germany was reported to be 20 to 35% of the publisher traffic. This, of course, depended on the source. There was a 38% decline in bid rate and a 45% decline in revenue. A 23% decline in CPM was also reported for traffic that was Firefox-specific.

The problem with third-party cookies

The ETP released by Firefox and the Intelligent Tracking Prevention (ITP) of Safari tell us something. They have clearly demonstrated that the cookie-based, third-party identifiers are nearing their end. Media companies are struggling to sustain their business models. This has happened owing to the failure to identify and reach their audiences. 

Media plays an important role in keeping a check on large corporations, governments, and political leaders. To prevent further damages, the publishers and buyers may have to leave the third-party cookies behind. They must create real addressability with the help of people-based and deterministic first-party data.

The importance of user consent

People-based identity is built on the foundations of user content. The origin of first-party data can be found in publisher logins, newsletter sign-ups, and firewalls. So, first-party data can originate in any form where the authentication is given by a user. The users provide explicit consent for their time spent online. In return, they receive an engaging online experience. 

There are certain tools that unlock people-based identity on environments free from cookies. A talk about one such tool was heard at an open event. This tool named ‘Publisher Sonar’ was in its development stages at the time. It was presented as an extension to the IX Library and was initiated by elements that captured user content. 

Publisher Sonar reportedly enabled hashed people-based identifiers that were to be moved into the bid stream. Inventory was then addressable with buyers being allowed to reach audiences through first-party data.

More power to users

Organizations adopting people-based identity in the absence of a system for user choice are at fault. They are clearly negligent in their duty to provide users with an option for participation. The company building Publisher Sonar has additionally come up with a world-class user opt-out solution. 

This has been named ‘Project Blackbird’. It applies the user preference for all future ad delivery by utilizing a federated opt-out mechanism. Project Blackbird presents a pretty straightforward way of controlling the ads that the user sees across environments.

Owing to the lack of a solution, the number of addressable users would continue to fall. This is especially true when more browsers are updating their policies with regard to cookie tracking. There certainly exists an opportunity with designs that put the publishers first and empowers users to engage. 

This opportunity is beyond third-party cookies. The time has come to invest in a foundation based on user consent. This would create true addressability in an open and trusted browsing environment. As Firefox continues to evolve, users can expect more identity-first platform solutions in the days to come.

A web browser is an application that connects you with everything that exists on the web. It is this browser, which allows you to visit websites and do plenty of other things on the internet. A more technical description would be that a web browser is software. 

It retrieves information from a server and displays it on the window of the browser. This information can be in the form of a web page, image, video, and other content. However, this is just the starting point. You may wonder why different browsers respond to websites differently. 

Another question that may surface in your mind is why different browsers exist. These questions would take us through the history and backend of the major web browsers. They include Chrome, Firefox, Internet Explorer, Opera, and Safari.

Browser wars

Browser wars have happened since the time Netscape Navigator and Internet Explorer went up against each other. Both of them wanted to be the best browser of the 1990s. Netscape had dominated the market earlier, but this had changed since the release of Internet Explorer 3. Microsoft had taken the lead. Since it came bundled with the Windows operating system, it had become the standard of many desktops. 

This is exactly what happened with the release of Safari in 2003. Earlier, the users of Macintosh were on Netscape Navigator or Internet Explorer. Safari now came pre-installed in Apple’s operating system. This meant that it gained its share of control of the desktop market. After Internet Explorer threw Navigator out of competition, the browser codes were made open source. 

They were then handed over to Mozilla by Netscape. When Firefox was introduced in 2004, there was a tremendous rise in its popularity. This continued for a few years until Google Chrome was released in 2008. It rapidly became the favoured browser among internet users, which continues even to this day. In recent times, there has been a significant rise in mobile browsing. 

Several mobile browsers came up and HTML5 and CSS3 were introduced. These rapid changes gave rise to browser wars between Chrome, Firefox, Safari, Opera, and Microsoft Edge. You can feel this competition in the form of frequent browser updates and version releases. Each of these browsers tries to outsmart the other in terms of speed, security, design, and features.

Modern browsing

Chrome continues to rule as the best desktop browser even today. Safari has significant ownership in the mobile browsing market. Despite all of this, there is no defined winner in the world of browsers. This is the reason why browser wars still haven’t subsided. Fragmentation is more prevalent today than ever before. 

This is primarily owing to the frequent releases of browser versions, updates, and operating systems. Preferences of browsers also depend largely on demographics. This means that age, country, and job profile also play a major role in the choice of browsers. Many schools and corporate organizations have certain requirements about what devices, operating systems, and browsers have to be used. 

The browsers are also updating their versions continually in the race to become the next Google Chrome. You just can’t predict which of the browsers would surpass the others in popularity.

Mozilla Firefox is also known as ‘Firefox Quantum’ or simply ‘Firefox’. Created by the Mozilla Foundation and Mozilla Corporation, it is a free and open-source internet browser. Firefox is compatible with the common operating systems in use today, such as Windows, MacOS, Android, and Linux. One of the biggest advantages of Firefox is that you can add or remove features. 

The users can customize the browser based on their requirements. It is this particular aspect of the browser that made it immensely popular over the years. To load web pages, Firefox uses the Gecko layout engine with updated web standards. However, Gecko is not used in Firefox for iOS. 

This is owing to the restrictions placed by Apple. The third-party web browsers used with iOS must utilize the WebKit-based layout engine. This has been built into the iOS operating system. There are many interesting facts associated with Mozilla Firefox. Here are some of them:

1. It was initially named ‘Phoenix’

The Mozilla community members had created Firefox under the name ‘Phoenix’ in the year 2002. Rather than having a bundle of several Mozilla applications, they wanted a standalone browser. Firefox became popular with its testers even when it was in its beta phase. The web browser was praised for its security, add-ons, and speed. 

It was released in November 2004 and became immensely successful with 60 million downloads in 9 months. This challenged the popularity of Microsoft’s Internet Explorer. Since the Mozilla community was created by Netscape, this browser is considered to be the successor of Netscape Navigator.

2. Firefox 3.0 was named ‘Gran Paradiso’

While it was being created, Firefox 3.0 was called by the name ‘Gran Paradiso’. It is the name of the second-highest mountain group, situated in the Graian Alps. The Firefox development team had asked the browser’s users to submit ideas for features in Firefox 3 during 2006. 

The usage share of Firefox 3 had increased to 23.75% in September 2009 according to NetApplications. It was considered as a sign of Firefox 3’s stability. It also meant that Firefox was being used by many as their main browser.

3. World record

The browser was launched with the aim to set the record for most Firefox downloads in 24 hours. Its launch date of June 17 2008 was named ‘Download Day 2008’. By June 18 2008 over 6.88 million users had downloaded Firefox 3. 

The Mozilla website was unavailable for a few hours as many people were accessing the site on June 17. The website couldn’t be updated for the download of the browser until 12:00 PDT. As a result, the ‘Download Day’ ended on June 18 at 11:16 am PDT.

4. Global usage

The worldwide usage of Firefox grew to 32% towards the end of 2009. Its popularity began to decline after Google Chrome was released. In the year 2016, the worldwide usage of Firefox as a desktop browser was between 9% and 16%. This made it the second most popular web browser in the world. 

Firefox continues to enjoy massive popularity in countries such as Eritrea, Cuba, and Germany. According to Mozilla, the number of users of Firefox in December 2017 was 170 million. With the gradual decline of Internet Explorer, Firefox reached a second place as a desktop browser in April 2018.

Your browser acts as a gateway to the internet. It is, therefore, extremely necessary for it to have the required speed, privacy, security, and utility features. Some of the popular browsers have been criticized today for their data breaches and privacy-related issues. It is the right of users to expect a high level of data protection and privacy from their browser. 

The least you can expect from a browser is some version of private browsing mode. When you’re using this mode, your browsing and search histories are not saved by the browser. We’ve listed some of the top browsers in use today and their best features here:

1. Chrome

Chrome is the most popular web browser across the world and for some good reasons. It allows the integration of Google account and extensions. Chrome also has a suite of reliable mobile applications. One of its best features is mobile integration, which makes browsing between multiple devices highly convenient. 

The password manager of Chrome automatically generates and recommends strong passwords. This happens when you’re creating a new account on a webpage. This web browser also has a Dark Mode for MacOS and Windows. The only downside would be the fact that it consumes more memory.

2. Mozilla Firefox

This web browser offers a modern way to surf from one website to another. It has been made possible owing to its upgrade to Firefox Quantum. Additionally, there’s Firefox Reality, which is its alternative based on virtual reality and password-free browsing. In recent times, Mozilla rebuilt the interface of Firefox. As a result, you have Firefox Quantum. 

It is designed to leverage multicore processors in ways that none of its competitors is able to match. Firefox has also offered better privacy protections with the more recent updates. It has been made possible with SmartBlock anti-tracker support, Protections Dashboard, and other features.

3. Opera

Much of the DNA of Chrome is shared by this web browser. Both Chrome and Opera have been built on the open-source Chromium engine. This makes their user experiences quite similar. Just like Chrome, Opera features a hybrid search bar and is fast and light. The differences like in the built-in features. Chrome relies more on an extension ecosystem for functionality. 

In this regard, Opera provides a few more features. The browser has introduced a predictive website preload ability. Opera’s Instant Search feature isolates search results in a separate window while the current page goes into the background. This lets you focus more on the search task at hand.

4. Microsoft Edge

Launched on the 5th of February 2020, Microsoft Edge was rewritten using the open-source Chromium web browser engine. The new browser was launched by Microsoft as a separate, stand-alone browser. It replaced the integrated version and became a part of Windows 10 with the update of May 2020. Edge has a look and feels that’s quite similar to Chrome. 

It will prompt you to import the bookmarks toolbar and other Chrome settings. Edge also supports the extensions of Chrome, although it would lead you to add-ons to the Microsoft Store. The features of Edge launching throughout 2021 would include some additional features.
