JavaScript browser war - great!

I love it when technologies evolve that fast, as the browsers in general currently do, it’s just awesome! After just having read about SquirrelFish Extreme and some comparison to the other engines, I am getting really excited about the future and the sure future for us at uxebu where we are working with all the browser technologies and we are glad to be in a field that close to the bleeding edge tech.
It’s not only that the JavaScript engines are competing (and JSON becomes native in IE8 and in Firefox). Also the development tools are coming strong, especially the article about the debugging capabilities of IE8 and the installation of IE8 in my virtual machine, to use the dev tools, really make the future of web development look awesome! The extra efforts that Firebug gains lately are another evidence for the awareness of just about everybody in this sector. Douglas Crockford’s excitment about an Opera option for delayed script execution points to another important topic on that front. Also the merging of WebForms into the HTML5 spec is really a milestone. This will really push the open web (podcast), wow …

(Just an article fill of links, but it is so exciting I have to tell people!)

    Internet Explorer 8 is very good because it is as stable as Opera. I hate the previous versions of IE like IE6 because it hangs frequently. ~

    Internet Explorer 8 have been my most used browser this year, it is definitely stable and fast loading too. .*
