It looks like Chrome was created from the ground up with a completely different design than modern browsers have (the largest of which is process independence for individual tabs). While I'm sure Firefox will implement what ideas they can, and Chrome is explicitly inviting others to do so, the sort of full-scale rewrite on which Google has based the new browser inevitably requires a new project to be implemented fully and accurately. -- Brad Beyenhof . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . http://augmentedfourth.com If the world were merely seductive, that would be easy.
