FavBackup can handle your browser history, bookmarks, cookies, preferences, and other data. And it's both a free and portable application, which means you can run the executable utility from a USB flash drive without installing FavBackup to your computer.

With Halloween fast approaching, it's a great time to get in some practice defending your territory against zombies. In Graveyard Shift, you take aim at zombies and other creepy-crawlies, blasting them into splatters of cartoony green guts. It's a casual first-person shooter, and it's very easy to get the hang of - use the mouse to aim, click to fire. Graveyard Shift has at least 15 levels, and it might even have some secret stages I haven't unlocked yet.

Great find, I'll definitely be using this.

Still, small annoyance, thanks for highlighting this.

We typically include 3 download links in every story. One in the body of the article (which I accidentally omitted this time), one behind the photo, and one in the "source" link at the bottom of the article.

Can it be controlled from the command line so that it can be used in a script?

How does this compare to FEBE? I know it says it captures everything, but I'm curious if it really works as advertised.

I wouldn't mind being able to ditch the Firefox extension and not having to worry about going through the whole setup, which can be tedious.
