Microsoft : IE :: Apple : Safari
- Tloewald 14y agoExcept Safari is built on an open source core that powers Chrome, AIR, Silk, etc.
- khuey 14y agoThere are parts of the Safari that ships on iOS that are not open source (e.g. the bits that implement text-size-adjust).
- ralfd 14y agoThe triumvirat of the future Web: Microsoft : IE :: Apple : Safari :: Google : Chrome It will be a hard place for Firefox and Opera. I read the blog post again, and I understand it so, that Mozilla can make a Windows 8 RT (ARM) version of Firefox, but only in a sandboxed version (no plugins/extensions?) and without access to the classic environment. So Microsoft is more lenient than Apple, but the result is perhaps the same, that it will be too tough to compete with the built in IE browser and its privileged features.
- MatthewPhillips 14y agoMozilla can't make web applications run fast because they aren't allowed to JIT JavaScript code. That is by far the most important thing (and it's true on both iOS and Windows RT).
