Mozilla's revamped development process

Inspired by the success of Google Chrome's success Mozilla drafted a new development process (schedule-driven) for its Firefox browser. As per the draft Firefox we will see frequent releases with lesser features.

Google's body browser

Google's new innovative service "body browser". This experiment will allow you to navigate through human body in 3D. You require a browser with a webGL support, currently webGL is supported only in the beta versions of the leading browsers. body browser homepage suggests users to download chrome beta. Even though a link to khronos.org is provided in the same page which lists all the browsers with webGL support. Is it a ploy to lure more users to adopt google chrome?

FireFox 4 beta faster than Chrome

  For the first time javascript engine in Firefox 4 beta 8 builds clocked faster then google chrome's V8 engine. Mozilla’s “Are We fast Yet?” charts are showing the combined Firefox TraceMonkey and JaegerMonkey build to be faster than Chrome in Webkit’s Sunspider test.

  "JaegerMonkey" is the code-name for a new javascript engine, It is a JIT compiler for Javascript. TraceMonkey is the original javascript engine that is introduced in FireFox 3.5 . JagerMonkey is a general-purpose compiler which converts entire methods to machine code. When it detects a loop that can be traced, it automatically engages the trace compiler, which makes it even faster. Mozilla is optimizing the combination of  Jaeger and Trace working together in Firefox4 to get the best of Tracing and JIT.
