Argument between Microsoft and Mozilla over Modern Web Browser Issue

These Days the web browser war is still broiling up, the competition is still getting hotter and hotter as to which web browser has the best performance. As a result contending web browsers are always trying to find better ways to offer users more advanced and improved features and functionality. Thus recently Mozilla and Microsoft were having a brawl over the issue of modern web browser due to the fact that both Silicon Valley’s nonprofit Mozilla and Redmond’s Software giant Microsoft are on its way of releasing the latest version of their particular browser.
In its effort to give improved performance Mozilla’s Firefox 4 is anticipated to turn up this month while Microsoft’s Internet Explorer 9 is still at its release candidate stage just yet. Both of these web browsers are preparing to present a considerable number of new-fangled features for Web developers as well as end users, widespread support for significant next-generation Web standards is also included in the issue.
The upcoming release of Internet Explorer 9 is predominantly significant because for the first time in Microsoft’s history they will deliver a new browser that is not lagging behind standard compliance. However Mozilla asserted that despite the extensive effort of Microsoft with its Internet Explorer 9 it’s still far from reaching its goal to hail Internet Explorer as a modern browser.
In his attack on Microsoft’s statement concerning Internet Explorer 9 propping-up for modern Web standards, Paul Rouget, Mozilla developer stated that Microsoft is only running its own test suite as point of reference not the vendor-neutral test generated by  W3C and some independent party thus Internet Explorer infringed the degree of  standard compliance.
When IE9 HTML5 was tested over an autonomous matrix with HTML5 feature at caniuse.com the result is unconvincing it only supports an approximate 54 percent of HTML5 in comparison to the 88 percent result of the current version of Firefox. This means that Microsoft’s HTML5 in IE9 is still a long way behind Firefox.
In his response to Mozilla’s allegation, Microsoft’s Tim Sneath indicted Rouget of having a presumptuous constricted meaning of a modern browser since Internet Explorer is debatably more modern than Firefox in a lot of ways further than the issue of standards. A remarkable example for this is Internet Explorer’s process isolation for tabs support. Although some stable browsers are supporting this capability Firefox 4 does not support it yet. Furthermore this tab process isolation has been highlighted in Mozilla’s 2011 roadmap as its major goal, meaning it will still be coming up later in 2011.Tim Sneath added that it is not wise for Rouget bringing up the word “modern” into the discussion as it is more apparent that he is nailing down his lead which is his only secure position that Microsoft is still lacking in its HTML5 support and thus fall behind Mozilla’s Firefox.
Mozilla’s watchfulness on the open Web generates a technological tradition of assigning a high priority standard of compliance. The web has indeed benefited from Mozilla’s watchfulness as it served as a catalyst to the up-to-date competitiveness and virtual wellbeing of the browsers ecosystem.
