Graphic Design Blog > jd/adobe: The Browsers of Tomorrow

[jd/adobe] During The First Browser Wars, Netscape and Microsoft competed on adding similar new features in incompatible implementations, and in the rush did not think through the security implications. This pattern is recurring in The Second Browser Wars today, with the current "HTML5" committee focusing on RIA specs, and it's likely that many of the brandname browsers of tomorrow will be much larger codebases, with more functionality which will inevitably interact in unexpected ways.

[ThermionicEmissions] Browser Wars: Firefox Moves Toward 50%, Content Ranting: I know this is a constant refrain and that the site seems to operate on different laws of physics than the ones of which we’re aware, but the Dell site is a prime offender.  Regardless of the fact that there are days when no browser on any operating system will allow the correct navigation and operation of the Dell site, it seems that it only likes IE.  This mostly leaves out my OS (and even the Windows OS some days).  Someone across the room just got a Mac so I might have some info on that later.

[Ed Stivala] HTML - outstaying it's welcome? I think so”¦ - Ed Stivala: You’re suggesting that Adobe be given a monopoly on all media and platforms because you don’t understand that HTML, CSS, JavaScript, and standardized media formats can already do the same thing, so long as users are using any browser other than IE. Fortunately, IE 8 is a step in the right direction and I have hope IE 9.

[jd/adobe] If Plugins Never Were: They did the first work in making audio available in browsers, only being eclipsed later by Shockwave's inclusion of Fraunhoffer "MPEG 2 Layer-3" audio, and the later popularization of this as generic MP3 files. Real Video was constrained in its early years by bandwidth and decompression costs, but the whole MP3 revolution, which toppled empires, would not have been possible if third-party developers could not experiment around the edges of the browser core.

[The Download Blog: Software tips, news, and opinions from Download.com editors] Browser war centers on once-obscure JavaScript: And if you're trying to claim that Mozilla/Firefox never innovates or hasn't given anything to the web, I'd like to point out that, among other things, Mozilla has given the web XBL (a vast improvement over IE's inferior alternative), SVG, a lot of good ideas in HTML5, and various other technologies that are going to play a big part in the future of the web. And unlike Microsoft, they actually use the same technologies they came up with in their own products, rather than shoehorning other stuff into it instead.
