E-mail: [email protected] https://orcid.org/0000-0003-4098-7551 IN-BROWSER BLITZ LITERATURE REVIEWS 2 Abstract The ways so far of writing literature reviews represent valid, but not sufficient, landmarks, connected to the current technological context. In this sense, this article proposes a research method called blitz literature review, as a way to quickly, transparently, and repeatably consult key references in a particular area of interest, seen as a network composed of elements that are indispensable to such a process. The tutorial consists of six steps explained in detail, easy to follow and reproduce, accompanied by publicly available supplementary material. Finally, the possible implications of this research method are discussed, being brought to the fore a general recommendation regarding the optimization of the citizens’ involvement in the efforts and approaches of open scientific research. Keywords: blitz literature review, open access, open science, research methods IN-BROWSER BLITZ LITERATURE REVIEWS 3 Writing a Psychological Blitz Literature Review with Nothing but a Browser Context The term “blitz literature review” refers to an adaptation of the concept of literature review.

Engineering Accessible Web Applications
Universidad Nacional de La Plata Facultad de Informática Thesis submitted in fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor (Ph.D.) in Informatics Science Engineering Accessible Web Applications. An Aspect-Oriented Approach Author: Mg. Adriana E. Martín Supervisor: Ph.D. Alejandra Cechich Co-Supervisor: Ph.D. Gustavo Rossi September 2011 ABSTRACT Building Accessible Web applications is nowadays a must. Every day more and more users with different abilities and/or temporally or permanent disabilities are accessing the Web, and many of them have special difficulties in reaching the desired information. However, the development of this kind of Web software is complicated for several reasons. Though some of them are technological, the majority are related with the need to compose different and, many times, unrelated design concerns which may be functional as in the case of most of the specific application’s requirements, or non- functional such as Accessibility itself. Even though, today there is a huge number of tools and proposals to help developers assess Accessibility of Web applications, looking from the designer perspective, there is no such a similar situation. It seems that creating accessible Web sites is more expensive and complicated than creating Web sites and then assessing/modifying them. Although this feeling may be largely true, the benefits of modelling Accessibility at early design stages outweigh the needs of a developer to implement that Accessibility. In this thesis, we present a novel approach to conceive, design and develop Accessible Web applications in an Aspect-Oriented manner. In order to reach our goal, we provide some modeling techniques that we specifically developed for handling the non- functional, generic and crosscutting characteristics of Accessibility as a quality factor concern.

Maelstrom Web Browser Free Download
maelstrom web browser free download 11 Interesting Web Browsers (That Aren’t Chrome) Whether it’s to peruse GitHub, send the odd tweetstorm or catch-up on the latest Netflix hit — Chrome’s the one . But when was the last time you actually considered any alternative? It’s close to three decades since the first browser arrived; chances are it’s been several years since you even looked beyond Chrome. There’s never been more choice and variety in what you use to build sites and surf the web (the 90s are back, right?) . So, here’s a run-down of 11 browsers that may be worth a look, for a variety of reasons . Brave: Stopping the trackers. Brave is an open-source browser, co-founded by Brendan Eich of Mozilla and JavaScript fame. It’s hoping it can ‘save the web’ . Available for a variety of desktop and mobile operating systems, Brave touts itself as a ‘faster and safer’ web browser. It achieves this, somewhat controversially, by automatically blocking ads and trackers. “Brave is the only approach to the Web that puts users first in ownership and control of their browsing data by blocking trackers by default, with no exceptions.” — Brendan Eich. Brave’s goal is to provide an alternative to the current system publishers employ of providing free content to users supported by advertising revenue. Developers are encouraged to contribute to the project on GitHub, and publishers are invited to become a partner in order to work towards an alternative way to earn from their content. Ghost: Multi-session browsing.

Forensic Study and Analysis of Different Artifacts of Web Browsers in Private Browsing Mode

(Forensic Science) Final Semester Student, Cyber Forensic Division, LNJN National Institute of Criminology and Forensic Science (MHA), Delhi, India 1 Assistant Professor, Cyber Forensic Division, LNJN National Institute of Criminology and Forensic Science (MHA), Delhi, India2 Junior Research Fellow, Cyber Forensic Division, LNJN National Institute of Criminology and Forensic Science (MHA), Delhi, India3 [email protected], [email protected], [email protected] ------------------------------------------------------ ***-------------------------------------------------- Abstract: - Web browsers today have become one of the most commonly used applications in digital devices, storing and maintaining huge information on user activities. The privacy mode has been introduced to combat the privacy issues related with browsers. This feature keeps the browsing activities of a user private by not storing or removing the traces of artifacts related to the browsing session on the system. In this study, we test the effectiveness of this claim and to ensure ways in which a forensic investigation may be done in such cases. The private modes of different browsers have been tested in Windows and MAC OS by performing pre-defined browsing activities in each of the browsers in both the operating systems. Moreover, the default locations of normal web browser artifacts are also examined to find whether artifacts of private browsing activities are stored in such locations or not. Keywords: - Private Browsing, Windows, MAC, Safari, Microsoft Edge, Brave Browser ------------------------------------------------------ ***-------------------------------------------------- I INTRODUCTON artifacts related to it on the end device.
