After speed, what's the next challenge for web browsers?
Looking at the current array of web browsers, it seems that all the major players have made dramatic improvements when it comes to speed. Even Internet Explorer 8, which lags far behind the rest of the pack, is not only significantly faster than previous incarnations, but it’s also fast enough for speed not to be an issue for most users. With the speed issue solved, what should be next on the browser developer’s agenda?
The overall quality of web browsers affect us all, and despite having more (and better) choice of browsers, we’re still limited to offerings from a few big players. We’re also accessing the web using a broad range of devices, and the Internet experience varies greatly depending on what device you are using.
Than there is the ever-increasing threat from hackers and malware. Browsers are most user’s first line of defense from people trying to take over their systems or steal their cash or identities.
