I think you don't know how webstandards are created.
First some browser vendor creates a draft or add the feature to demo it to others, then browser vendors argue about how it was implemented and then they add a draft module to the spec and after that it will be part of the spec.
Then browser vendors decide what parts of the spec the implement and do so.
The word standard literally means it was adopted by most vendors, so if that happends, then yes it is a standard.
They are still behind all the other browsers. Other browsers have many, many more features. They are a whole range: from the smaller pieces like CSS columns or webworkers, to whole standards like WebGL and an important part of the HTML5-spec offline cache and HTML5-local-storage and -session-storage, indexeddb which allow you to build applications which also still work when you are not connected.
Why get caught with your pants down and not use HTML,CSS,JS,SVG,WebGL and all the other webtechnologies, so it instantly works on all browsers and devices, from PC's, netbooks, pads, pdas all the way down to smartphones.
Thank you for your explanation. It is a bit more than I wanted to know. I just wanted to know the technical bits: the file system and registry is virtualized to the app
Which atleast gives me some idea how that is done.
Anyway I do not recommend their browser, they block to many HTTPS-certificate authorities/root certificate-types. I wouldn't be surprised if it was just Chrome with some of those disabled to make other CA's look bad.
I meant to ask what it does on the technical side on Windows. Seems hairyfeet says Comodo AV does the following: the file system and registry is virtualized
Java is among the many plugins I disable in Firefox. One of the first things I do. Firefox updates are frequent enough to be secure but the plugins is where the problems are.
Actually the interface in Mozilla browsers is called the chrome. Mozilla was already using the name for years when Google released their project. You could even say Google. Now that Mozilla allows developers to create their own interface (thus chrome) they called it chromeless, because an interface does not yet exist, the developer can create their own.
Not sure if.com supports it, but I do know many special characters should be available. IDN is mostly just unicode translated and some things not allowed because it looks to similair to other things. Example:
But we only have only a few banana plants left, their are no new banana plants anymore. We actually can not create any new species, because we can not grow any new plants anymore.

Ok, my arguments stink, but what my first comment was about was this:

It has nothing to do with specs and drafts.
I hadn't seen that one yet, nice catch.

What century have you been living in ?

"major sites" ? well, let's see Alexa top 1000 or something like that.
Ebay uses it at the frontend, I didn't know that. But Google and Amazon don't. Amazon and Facebook use it for certain parts.
Euh... games/installers don't run from /home or /tmp. I can see your point though about being allowed to run an installer.
I think if they can only install from the distribution repository, that would be fine.

I think when someone takes a hold of the steering wheel. That would be more realistic I think.
So, what is this sandbox ? How is that done ?
I've been thinking:
seperate mount points for: /tmp and /home with no-exec on those partitions and no rights for normal users to change anything else.
That would atleast be a start.
Actually, it looks like they use Varnish as a kind of loadbalancer.
So which large sites use Java to power their site ?

This is just based on webtechnology, you do NOT need a working internet connection to use it.
Even then, HTML5 has support for offline use, for when your connection is down.

Most people are already confused, what is your point ? ;-)
And it's called IDN in the case of DNS and has been available for some time now.
You are funny.
Any extra /8 or smaller we free up will only help IPv4 last for a few months at most.
Stateful firewalls are usually bottlenecks when a DDOS-attack happends, because they do what they are supposed to do± keep a lot of state
But during DDOS-attacks there is just to much state for the firewall to handle.
But we only have only a few banana plants left, their are no new banana plants anymore. We actually can not create any new species, because we can not grow any new plants anymore.
All banana come from the same few 'plants' through the process of 'cutting' (not sure http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cutting_(plant) ).
We messed that one up already.
If their is a banana-plant disease which spreads easily there will be no more banana's.
I re-read part of the article, seems not all browsers check if it is valid javascript if a script-tag is used. I consider that a browser bug.
