According to PC world, Microsoft, FireFox, Google Reader, Opera and others have unofficially signed a peace treaty in a San Francisco conference. The peace treaty asks that the browser be used as a development platform. Instead of trying to compete against one another in a survival environment, they will now focus on advancing their platforms for future Internet applications.

The chief architect for Fire Fox stated that applications written in JavaScript to scale better without crashing. He stated, “When you use JavaScript as it is used today, it is very hard for browsers to optimize,” he said. “If you’re going to have [a Web] application crash … you are in trouble because that can be exploited as a security hole.”

The peace treaty sounds like a good idea to me but I just can’t imagine these vendors giving up that easy. In my opinion, this peace deal between the web browsers will not last long.
