Fireofx Roxxx!!!

Sounds weird? Firefox now has it’s own social networking platform. Firefox lovers come & join. You ca post photos,videos, find friends who are using Firefox & it will be a better helping platform for Fx I guess. I’m already there as chanux fox [First Sri Lankan ;) ] . ah…It’s name is “SPOT THE FOX“. So go now & be a part.

Once I’ve been chatting with my linux guru ILGO on gmail(google talk). I asked him to have a look at my blog. here’s a part of our conversation.

me: Hey do u knw..I got a Firefox T-shirt from fox crew ilgo: Cooolll me: a gift for my loyality1:29 PM ilgo: dont grow a red tail… and hey, soon swiftfox will take over the world

me: what the hell is that

1:30 PM ilgo: swiftfox is a small version with little mem footprint, etc…

me: ah

ilgo: anyhow you will surely hear of it..

me: is it something like my FUTURE BROWSER concept?

1:31 PM ilgo: is it?

The FUTURE is NOW

me: http://chanux.wordpress.com/2007/05/15/the-future-browser/

that’s it?

1:32 PM ilgo: i gonna read that latter.

Did you notice that, What he said about Swiftfox?. I dunno abt you but I was very cuurios to find out what the hell is that & rushed to google.Swiftfox is an alternative for Firefox. It’s built on Firefox.There are rumours boasting that swiftfox is memory-efficient. I hope it’s worth a try. Swiftfox promises that it doesn’t let you miss any of your lovin Firefox extensions. It’s onluy for Linux.Link:Swiftfox

Yes it’s another way to personalize it on your way. Give your browser your mood. It’s cool. And Hurry up to Surprise your friends.

It’s another cool Firefox extension which lets you to make your Firefox window look Cooler. Wooh… it’s great.

Here’s an example for what you can do.

I’ve been dreaming of this thing for a long time.I didn’t sleep until I type this article.I hope this concept would be a reality in near future. If so I’ll be the happiest creature living on earth.As a hardcore Firefox lover I’d like to see my Future browser as the prototype of Firefox 4( coz it’s impossible being the prototype of Firefox3)

The future browser install a very little/lite “structure” (or Base) of the browser on users computer. It is the tool which is used to ‘create’ the actual browser.The Base doesn’t keep any user data with it.The place where all the user data are saved is an online “account”.It’s something like an webmail account. You have to log in to use it.The Base is used to log in to the account.

To get an idea,think about Firefox as an example. the Future browser stores usernames/passwords, Form data, Bookmarks, History, Cookies,Extensions, Themes & possibly all user data which makes a customized browser, on a webserver. Simply, the account is somthing like the browser profile kept on a web server.The Base & the Account use a secured protocol to communicate between.

In this way the user can use his own customized browser anywhere. However the browser will ask for more processing power,more RAM on users computer & more bandwidth from the network. I hope it won’t take much time to reach those physical requirement limits. Probably we’ll be there in 69 days & 2 hours ;) .

And don’t worry about the technological requirements too. Just think it’s the next generation of AJAX(well..kinda).

(This concept is originally mine. But there are no barriers for using it. If you use it & somehow mange to get the thing done & make big money, please don’t forget me ;) )
