“The web browser is becoming the single most important piece of
desktop software, if it isn’t already. Not only is the web a huge
source of information, but also the conduit to a huge world of
hosted apps and interconnected cloud services covering a range of
new computer-based experiences.“When you’re shopping, you want security; when you’re working,
you want reliability; and when you’re being entertained, you want
speed and compatibility with many different types of media.“On top of this, most websites employ client-side JavaScript and
Ajax technologies, placing an extra processing burden on the
browser. Building a browser that can cope with all this and be easy
to use while offering a great experience is quite a tall
order.”
