Mozilla Unveils Aurora Concept Browser

Barence writes "Mozilla has unveiled a spectacular new concept browser, dubbed Aurora. The bleeding-edge browser is part of a new Mozilla Labs initiative, in which the open-source foundation is encouraging people to contribute ideas and designs for the browser of the future. The Aurora browser demonstration shows a highly advanced way of collaborating data gathered on the web, and represents a spectacular introduction to the new Mozilla Labs, which much like Google Labs looks to become a home for offbeat projects which would otherwise probably never see the light of day. More details, and a video demonstration, are on the Mozilla Labs site."

    Order, structure, and hierarchy work great for my files and things. But for my bedroom and workshop, "toss it on the floor" seems to be the entrenched system.

    Then there's also already the Arora browser, a WebKit/Qt4 based browser that actually works. I suggest Mozilla rename the browser to something like Phoenix to avoid name confusion.

    It looks like:

    2) Three OS X docks
    3) Dashboard / Yahoo widgets

    But with all the aesthetic sense and usability of an Open Source project.
