Google trying anew for a 3D Web
,----[ Quote ]
| Two related projects from Mozilla and
| Google, each with the similar goal of
| bringing hardware-accelerated 3D graphics
| to the Web, appear to be joining forces
| after a change in Google tactics.

Firefox 3.7 nightly adds built in option for tabs-on-top
,----[ Quote ]
| Mozilla's been playing around with
| interface changes in Firefox 3.7 for a
| while -- there's the updated default theme
| and built-in glass support (which made a
| very brief appearance and has yet to
| return). In yesterday's nightly build,
| another UI option appeared: a simple right-
| click allows you to move your tabs to the
| top of the browser window.

Why Mozilla Needs To Go Into Survival Mode

WebKit 2 and Firefox Lorentz Going 'Out of Process'
,----[ Quote ]
| Browser vendors are always trying to
| improve the stability of their platforms.
| One key approach being adopted by multiple
| browser vendors is to take plugins out of
| the regular browser process and isolate
| them. The benefit of out-of-process plugins
| is that if a plugin, say Adobe's Flash for
| example, crashes, the entire browser won't
| crash.
|
| Backers of the open source WebKit rendering
| engine, which is used by Google's Chrome,
| Apple's Safari and RIM's upcoming new
| browser for Blackberry, are now testing out
| new out-of-process capabilities in WebKit2.
| Mozilla is out this week with Firefox
| Lorentz Beta which includes out-of-process
| plug-ins as well.

Google Launches 3D Graphics Driver Project for Chrome
,----[ Quote ]
| Google has launched a new project for
| Chrome that will let the browser run a
| wider range of 3D graphics content without
| downloading additional drivers.
|
| The open-source project, called ANGLE
| (Almost Native Graphics Layer Engine),
| seeks to let Chromium run WebGL content on
| Windows computers, wrote product manager
| Henry Bridge on the Chromium blog.

Google Gets Into The 3D Driver Game
,----[ Quote ]
| To help out the adoption of WebGL, the
| Khronos-backed API originally started by
| Mozilla that seeks to let web developers
| tap into modern graphics processors via the
| web-browser natively, has caused Google to
| get into the graphics driver game. WebGL
| binds to OpenGL ES 2.0, and with the
| Microsoft graphics drivers being more
| DirectX-optimized rather than OpenGL,
| Google's playing to Microsoft. Google wants
| more users to be able to use WebGL,
| particularly when running the Chrome
| browser, so they have just announced the
| Almost Native Graphics Layer Engine. The
| objective of ANGLE is to just take the
| subset of the OpenGL ES API exposed by
| WebGL and to translate those extensions
| into their DirectX 9.0c equivalents.
