Lately Google is experimenting new ad-formats and ad-styles to attract more clickers to its Google Adsense advertisements, while testing my website in Apple Safari 4 Beta it displayed a new experimental ad-format named "Interesting Items by Google", the advertisement module displayed an RSS logo with links to an completely untargeted recipe website as shown below.

The new ad-format seems to pull related RSS feeds and display them in the module, but in my case it was way off-target displaying recipe ads, this is still experimental and the targeting should get fixed once this is rolled out to all users and publishers.

If you have not tried Internet Explorer 8 Final yet I strongly urge you to do so, the new feature packed browser is considerably faster then earlier versions rendering pages perfectly, while every IE8 user knows about new features like InPrivate browsing, webslices etc. very few know about InPrivate Filters a smart content blocking functionality which can be used to block advertisements in Internet Explorer 8, Once activated from statusbar or shortcut key - CTRL+SHIFT+F smart InPrivate Filter automatically learns, detects and blocks common repeated-content from ad-servers appearing on websites you visit.

The best thing about InPrivate Filter is that you can easily manage the block list and even import filtering patterns similar to ad-blocker.

Opera Labs is doing some extra-ordinary research in terms of new web-browser features and after introducing Opera Turbo they seem to have gone too far with experimenting introducing face gestures in the latest snapshot builds of Opera 10, the concept of controlling your web-browser with facial expressions sounds pretty cool but after seeing the video demo with man making funny faces to control the web-browser, I decided to stick with keyboard and mouse combination for a while, jokes apart the technology seems promising considering the evolution of touch devices where such functionality can be handy, I am very much sure that Opera will tweak this facial-gesture technology further to create something useful.
