Mozilla: The Key To The Browser Is Individuality
According to Mitchell Baker, Chairperson of the Mozilla Foundation, the key to future of browser technology is making a browser unique to the person that uses it, giving control back to the user and allowing them to make the web for themselves. Baker, speaking on stage at LeWeb 2010 , is concerned by the current trend where companies are “duplicating the Apple model”, building products and sometimes services that do not fully integrate back to the web. Speaking of Mozilla, the company wants to establish a new model where apps can integrate back to the web, with HTML5 currently able to help developers do just that.During her interview with Robert Scoble at LeWeb today, Baker also showed a demo of how the combination of HTML5, JavaScript and technologies like Canvas 2D and 3D can bring text, video and audio closer together on the Web, while pulling in real-time information from the open Web at the same time.
