The rumor of Googles GBrowser persist. And now that AOL is launching yet another browser but with some very fancy functionality (click on highlighting of all links, easy zoom-in/out of text, gestures enhancements, etc), it might be appropriate to release a Top 10 Features for GBrowser Wishlist. Here they are in order of importance:
1)Adhere strictly to W3C , ECMA, and other Web standards;
2)Implement and enable XPath, XSD, and XQuery to become a local as well as Web data transfer and exchange center;
3)Adhere strictly to W3C , ECMA, and other Web standards;
4)Expand JavaScript and DOM standard implementation to include BEA proposed XML extensions in JavaScript plus complete DOM2 and expanded DOM/XML notation;
5)Adhere strictly to W3C , ECMA, and other Web standards;
6)Deliver cross platform functionality to at least: Windows, Mac, Linux, Palm;
7)Adhere strictly to W3C , ECMA, and other Web standards;
8)Implement and enable SVG for graphics, charting and mapping;
9)Adhere strictly to W3C , ECMA, and other Web standards;
10)Support multiple tilable (like dashboards) browser windows including the ability to save the workspace layout of each window and its connection (local or remote) for recall – a SuperBookmark function;
Now if the designers and developers at Mozilla and Opera want to cheat sheet and borrow some of these ideas – that is fine by me.
