Years, an extension called Firebug, a powerful tool, kept Web programmers loyal to the browser Firefox. But now, as firefox browser makers add their own tools geared to attract those who build Web sites and applications, the lead Firebug programmer has taken a job with Google Chrome (Yea!)

Firebug was big in the days when Mozilla's Firefox was the main challenger of Microsoft's "Internet Explorer", but now the browser market is bigger than ever and more coming out ever month or so. Google Chrome is steadily gaining usage share at Firefox's expense. On top of that, the use of mobile browsers is exploding, and what people do with a browser has expanded :pedo: . What will browsers do next? Post your comment on what Browsers will be in the future. :p
