Ok, not related to the upcoming Bond flick, this quantum of solace is offered to fellow firefox lovers. So Google launched Chrome, along with a comic (it's quite readable), and it quickly became the rage. It uses this new VM thingy, V8. And looking at this, the speed difference is quite notable. More correctly, Chrome is insanely faster than the current crop of browsers. But where will that leave our beloved FF? So here I present to you this, a blog entry by Mozilla CTO Brendan Eich. (side note: he created javascript). So FF is also getting JIT in the form of Tracemonkey. And, and, it surpasses Chrome (though junta is debating this). One thing for sure, our beloved FF won't be left behind in the speed race (it would not have been anyway, as V8 also is Open Source). It would be quite interesting to watch.
