Anil Dash: Upon the demise of Netscape
I hope that instead of focusing on a browser Google take thunderbird and makes a better email client. One that works with gmail, and lets you store your 1 gig of email on a local hard drive some place. A software that has an interface as good as the web based gmail, and more. One that integrates into IM. Jabber to be more exact. That would be awesome. I am sure some really good stuff can come out of all of this. I dont think we really need a better browser, Firefox is excellent and it keeps improving. Ofcourse if google decides to contribute to the already opensource browser, than thats even better, but I hope they dont take the open source software and make a commercial version like Netscape/AOL.
