Kindle Innovations announced today that TabUp.com has extended browser support to include Google Chrome and Apple Computer’s web browser, Safari. This support is a significant milestone for the project. It enables the most inquisitive Internet population of early adopters to enjoy the full spectrum of site capabilities.
“Google Chrome was built with today’s advanced web applications in mind, and we are very pleased with how well TabUp performs in this new browser environment,” said Vitaly Dubravin, COO and Co-Founder of Kindle Innovations.
TabUp is a website where “Busy Busys – Soccer Moms & Dads” keep Tabs on what matters most.
