“Mozilla’s Chris Blizzard in an interview about the
rising competition by Google Chrome, the evolution of the web
platform and the prospects for WebM“Over the last few years Firefox enjoyed the role of the rising
star in the browser world. Nowadays Google Chrome seems to have
taken that very spot, currently even grabbing some market share
from Mozilla. During the Linux desktop conference GUADEC Andreas
Proschofsky had the chance to sit down with Chris Blizzard,
“Director of Web Platform” at Mozilla and conduct the following
interview about the current situation in the market, the
advancements of the web as a platform and upcoming improvements for
Firefox 4+.“derStandard.at: When we talked last year you observed that
although Google Chrome is gaining a lot of publicity, most of the
developers at tech-conferences – like GUADEC – still use Firefox.
If I take a look around this year, this seems to have changed
considerably, a lot of those early adopters seem to have moved to
Chrome / Chromium. Do you have a problem in that specific – but
influential – user segment?”
