2006 was the year we finally had a proper update to Internet Explorer - I’m sure everyone would agree that it has been long overdue. Internet Explorer 7 has fixed a number of the more irritating bugs faced by developers, such as the CSS box-model implementation and transparent PNG support. Its just a shame that most of us still have to support earlier versions on their websites! For the users, features such as tabbed browsing and RSS have finally been made available.Firefox 2.0 was also released in November, I’d love to have been more excited by this, but too be honest I see 2.0 as more of a merging of some of the more popular features which were previously available as standalone extensions.So, what do we have to look forward to in 2007? Good question. Firefox 3.0 is on the horizon, though the only thing which excites me is the promise of improved OS X integration and much better font rendering. There will microformat support, probably derived from Operator, though hopefully with a touch of WebCards! I think on the browser side of things, there isn’t really much scope left for innovation - its more polishing the features we all know and love. Any comments? (more…)
