Mozilla Unveils Aurora Concept Browser

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the because-they-can dept.

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."

    If someone does it to you, it isn't bating.

    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:
    1) A mess
    2) Three OS X docks
    3) Dashboard / Yahoo widgets

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