I just became one with my browser software.
If I were to wish for two things, they would be as much bandwidth as possible and ridiculously fast browser engines.
We had planned to integrate a Web browser with our operating system as far back as 1993( filing its first court responses to federal antitrust)
A good browser, apps, good camera, and fast networking in your smartphone is just expected today.
Once you understand that everybody's going to get connected, a lot of things follow from that. If everybody gets the Internet, they end up with a browser, so they look at web pages - but they can also leave comments, create web pages. They can even host their own server! So not only is everybody consuming, they can also produce.
The average consumer does not know the difference between browser, Internet and search box.
It's not Big Brother that we now have to be afraid of, but Big Browser.
Remember, the web isn't about control. If a visitor to your site is familiar with using a browser's native form doodad, you won't be doing them any favors if you override the browser functionality with your own widget, even if you think your widget looks better.
In '93 to '94, every browser had its own flavor of HTML. So it was very difficult to know what you could put in a Web page and reliably have most of your readership see it.
I went to a website the other day and right at the top of the page it showed me my ip address. It was the most disturbing moment I have ever experienced. This website even told me what internet browser I was using, and what day it was. Computers can do anything.
If you can use a Web browser, you can use Skype.
What we now call the browser is whatever defines the web. What fits in the browser is the World Wide Web and a number of trivial standards to handle that so that the content comes.
