I wish they'd concentrate on making a browser that can start scrolling before all the Javascript on the page has finished running. That's weird, that's what happens to me in Chrome, not Firefox.

On the article - What Mozilla are doing first with Electrolysis is like WebKit2, rather than like Chrome which is almost-but-not-there-yet process per-domain which will come later. There was also some original research which went into Firef

A reminder: you can use Alt to bring up the menu bar if you hide it. If you're using TabMixPlus, there may be an add-on that gives you better performance.

You could help out coding Haiku OS (www.haiku-os.org) which is an x86 clean-room open source continuation of the once commercial BeOS being developed by a committed team. The emphasis is on native code, fast, lightweight and being super-res

That sounds like a really cool idea. :) Do you have plans to release it? This combined with Ruby on Arduino ( http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=2774170 ) could make a nice combination. Anyway good luck on your project.

App Tabs, In-content UI (like preferences in a tab), HTML/CSS/JS extension model and about:labs (proof on Aza Raskin's blog) These are just a few things Google has copied from Mozilla. I don't go around complaining about all the thing Googl

There is no politics. Simply put, the developer who first wrote it worked at Mozilla, Firefox's tools aren't designed to replace Firebug and Mozilla coordinated releases with the Firebug team. So many negatives assumptions and unsupported c

TechCrunch isn't really a good indication of browser market share, the type of user is more likely to use Chrome (usually sticks with the defaults even if they use extensions). Also I'm not sure early adopters is a good description, Firefox

It's also true that users have moved to Firefox from Chrome, being that for example depending on the metric Firefox is faster, but mostly the same speed. QEMU in javascript is a good example of a real world example where Firefox's javascrip

This seems a little premature. It's the first build. The problem with these grids or "tests" (like the Acid3) is that they are being used to prove a point - but they fall short of the real goal - showing what is agreed to be implemented and

I'm on the fence with them supporting XP. One comparison to take into account is Safari's releases have dropped support for an older OS, much less than 10 years, they did change processor architecture though and have less business users to

Can somebody explain how this doesn't contribute to the discussion? I was trying not to tell nikcub something they may already know, and trying to be helpful for anyone else while not making assumptions on the knowledge of anyone else.

They remove the moz (and possibly change something else) from the name when a vendor-neutral syntax has been reached. I think we have to wait a while for the final syntax.

Linus Torvalds said in 2001 he didn't use a bug tracker for the Linux kernel so I'm not sure if I should be worried. Apache, nginx and Cherokee also work on Haiku as well as a bunch of other native ones (e.g. PoorMan http://en.wikipedia.or

I don't use OS X, but I thought I'd share a few bits of information. Also this page demonstrates why native local software is so great - no redundancy (exposing a dictionary to all apps), low memory footprint etc. - In 10.6 Snow Leopard, ho

I know you didn't claim Apple invented it, but I thought it would be informative to say Apple have added their own ideas but the main idea comes from BeOS, a once commercially viable operating system. These days it lives on in an open sourc

I trust you know what you are doing. I'd like to warn others to be careful of what is removed, especially if you didn't put it there. The price is stability.

In the sense of using the platforms' libraries and APIs, then Chrome is not native (especially some of the UI as Javascript is not native in any sense) because it comes bundled with its own runtime as well as the WebKit runtime. But in term

Or NativeClient. Ironically it contains several runtimes although "Native" in this case means non-web programming languages for the client-side. Remember the HTML component is a runtime.
