The announcement comes a day after the launch of the Firefox 20, the new version of the classic Internet browser
The Mozilla organization said in a statement that recently began collaborating with the South Korean company Samsung in creating Servo, a new generation browser began as a research project in 2012.
This new browser is still far from being available to be sold, it is written in Rust, a programming language developed by Mozilla also. Thus, both companies intend to carry Servo Rust and Android and ARM architecture, designed for the creation of processors and especially useful for developing a tablet.
Samsung is interested in the project because the company “is investigating several new technologies to innovate in products that are part of the legacy,” a spokesman at TechCrunch specialized portal. “This collaboration will bring an opportunity to open a new era in web experience in the future,” he added.
Refounding WEB BROWSER
Brendan Eich, cofounder and CTO of Mozilla, argues that Servo is an attempt to reshape the web browser with modern hardware, rectifying “weak points in security” and proposing an experience “new and richer” on the web.
“It’s an exciting step in the evolution of the project and will allow us to delve deeper into research Servo for mobile devices,” said Eich.
Rust Mozilla has worked for several years, said the company. The team now has version 0.6 “is quickly reaching stability,” said Eich.
The announcement comes a day after Mozilla launched Firefox 20, the new version of its classic browser, including the ability to open a private browsing window without terminating or interrupting the current session and also includes a new download manager.
