From BoingBoing:
Mozilla’s new Webmaker project is a global initiative to “move people from using the Web to making the Web.” They’re running a series of events, including an upcoming Summer Code Party with interactive and recorded sessions on making stuff (I’ll be doing one of these). That’s just one piece; Seth Rosenblatt has more on CNet:

Chrome/Firefox: Non-US users know the pain of having services blocked from them pretty well, and YouTube is no exception. If you’re tired of stumbling on videos you can’t watch, ProxTube will fix the problem by unblocking all US-only videos for anyone to see.

iOS: Private browsing isn’t too difficult on a desktop computer, but keeping your web travels anonymous on an iPhone is a bit more difficult. If you want to hide your every move, Onion Browser is an app that uses Tor proxy servers to hide your activities from ISPs, other Wi-FI connections, and more.
We’ve talked about ways to Tor in Chrome and Firefox before, and Onion Browser uses the same basic premise. It tunnels your browsing through a Tor proxy server so websites don’t see your IP address and it encrypts all of your information before it leaves your device. Loading pages in Onion Browser takes a lot longer than normal, but you’ll be completely anonymous when you’re doing it. Onion Browser is a 99¢ download for iPhone and iPad.

From Gmail blog:
I used to avoid clicking on email links on the web because an application on my computer that I never used would pop up and interrupt me. Instead, I would copy the email address, switch to Gmail, click compose and paste it in.
Starting today, thanks to the magic of HTML5 things are getting simpler. Now, when you go to Gmail in Chrome, you will be asked if you want Gmail to open all email links. Say yes, and clicking on email links in any application on your computer will open a fresh Gmail compose window.
