Mozilla borrows from WebKit to build fast new JS engine

,----[ Quote ]
| Mozilla's high-performance TraceMonkey 
| JavaScript engine, which was first introduced 
| in 2008, has lost a lot of its luster as 
| competing browser vendors have stepped up 
| their game to deliver superior performance. 
| Firefox now lags behind Safari, Chrome, and 
| Opera in common JavaScript benchmarks. In an 
| effort to bring Firefox back to the front of 
| the pack, Mozilla is building a new JavaScript 
| engine called JÃgerMonkey.

The rise of Google Chrome

,----[ Quote ]
| Google launched the open-source browser in
| 2008, prompting many to ask why anyone needed
| another after Microsoft's Internet Explorer,
| Mozilla's Firefox, and Apple's Safari. But over
| the course of 2009, Google answered that
| question: with Chrome, the company wants not
| just to speed up the Web but to rebuild its
| foundations.

Google Chrome OS goes native (code)

,----[ Quote ]
| Google's Chrome OS does not run local
| applications or store local data. Everything is
| handled inside the browser. But when the much-
| hyped operating system debuts on netbooks at
| the end of next year, you can bet it will
| execute native code on behalf of online Google
| applications such as Gmail or Docs and
| Spreadsheets.
