After versioning, functionality and UI they now copy sandbox-mode from the Chromium project. I don't think there's much time left before you won't be able to make the distinction between Firefox and Chromium anymore.

- taeric 12y agoIs this really different than anything else in "pop programming culture?" Consider the spread of various paradigm practices in the different runtimes. And this is not a condemnation of the practice. Just saying it really isn't that different than most anything else. I will say that it is not that troubling. Far more troubling would be either a) multiple completely inconsistent browsers dominating the field or b) a homogenous ecosystem in the web. At least, I think so.
- quotemstr 12y agoYou mean that Chrome copied IE's sandboxing?
- gsnedders 12y agoFrom what I've heard from both Google and MS people, Chrome had it first, it's just IE announced it (and shipped it in a beta) first. Alternatively, if you don't want to trust word of mouth — there's no way the Chrome team did their entire sandboxing implementation in the five months between IE announcing it and the announcement of Chrome, it's just too much work.
