Chrome, JavaScript, and Flash: Two (Mostly) Opposing Views


In one of the more interesting reviews of Google's open source Chrome browser, released yesterday, AP technology writer Peter Svensson suggests that Google missed the boat by focusing on JavaScript performance in the browser, and submits that the real culprit behind much pokey web performance and many browser crashes is Adobe's Flash. Notably, Svensson's diatribe against Flash coincided with some interesting comments sent to us at OStatic from AdventNet/Zoho CEO Sridhar Vembu. Vembu sees Chrome's focus on JavaScript as right on, to the point where it may begin to stifle Flash. Here's the gist of all this.


Firebug Group Releases 1.2

John Resig, a member of Mozilla's Firebug development team, announced yesterday that the final version of Firebug 1.2 had been released. Firebug is a debugger for HTML, CSS, and JavaScript that sits within the Firefox Web browser. It has become an essential tool for Web developers, particularly those who use the modern technique known as Ajax ( asynchronous JavaScript and XML ).



Tracemonkey to Boost JavaScript Performance in Firefox 3.1

JavaScript has become an increasingly important part of the Web application ecosystem. JavaScript is the key to many of the Web's most interesting applications, using the Ajax paradigm ( Asynchronous JavaScript and XML ). This has led to a renaissance in the use of JavaScript, as well as a flurry of libraries aimed at making it easier to use and cross-browser compatible. It was thus with a great deal of excitement that several JavaScript developers announced late last week that a new JavaScript engine, known as Tracemonkey, will be a part of Firefox 3.1 when it is released. The Tracemonkey engine is dramatically faster than the existing JavaScript engine, with some actions running 20 times faster.



Firebug Matures, Gets Developers and Hosting from Mozilla

If you're a Web developer, it's a pretty good bet that one of your most important tools is Firebug, an open-source debugger for HTML, CSS, JavaScript, and Ajax that works inside of the open-source Firefox Web browser. Since it was first unveiled several years ago, Firebug has taken the Web-development world by storm, revolutionizing developers' ability to modify, test, and debug Web applications. In the last month, Firebug has received hosting and development assistance from Mozilla, a change that will almost certainly benefit both the software and the community.
