Not today, but soon
Oh, but the internet will change when IE8 lands. Hopefully anyway.
What we get is more standards compliant web pages!
And while the Internet may not change - our perspective of it will change with FF3.
And you'd be surprised with how much a web browser can do or must do.
Render pages, store your history and all that.
But rendering a page correctly, pretty and as it should be isn't easy. FF3 is making it all the more better.
Not that I have anything against it, but FF3 is now taking the lead in functionality and all. At least from what I've read.
A fact that has now been disproved. FF3 is faster than Opera.
And for the curious. Here is a link - guide to FF3 which contains a lot of the improvements to the browser. It should show us how much work has been put into FF3 and what benefits we reap.

Depends on what you mean. For me or you? Yes, it won't be easy, just like it won't be easy to write a complex parser and rendering engine. For them, the browser makers? It's pretty darn easy considering they already built the foundations. They just need to adhere to the standards which have been unchanged for so many years. I can only tag as total irresponsibility the fact a browser still comes out these days without FULL standards compliance.
And that goes or ALL browsers. Amaya included.

For the developers of the page, for example?
But there's so much more on today's web than standards...They just need to adhere to the standards which have been unchanged for so many years. I can only tag as total irresponsibility the fact a browser still comes out these days without FULL standards compliance.
Displaying images, for example, supporting proper fonts, and so on.
And the standards themselves, as many as they are, are big and complex and difficult to implement.
No browser today has 100% standards compliance.
It doesn't really matter that much, though, as long as the developers strive hard to achieve it.
But then there's the question of speed and memory usage - things important to many people. A browser shouldn't eat too much memory (*cough* IE7 *cough*) or be too slow (*cough* IE7 *cough*).
And I think the devs at Mozilla has done a great job with FF3.
I hope they keep it up!
