Opera 10 has just been released. Sure, other browsers have released new versions lately as well, but which of them also produced a trailer?
Many of the features introduced are not novel, although welcome nonetheless, adding to the browserscape as a whole. More about the new release can be found in their press release.
Image is Opera's branding for number 10. Much more appealing than its serif "O".

As with Internet Explorer 8 and Firefox 3.5 (in beta), Safari comes with cross-domain XHR. Unlike its competition, however, Safari already had it, so its implmenetation is more mature. Cross-domain XHR provides mainstream support for mashups, but without security underlying it, most enterprises will not adopt them. The latest startup from the Institute for Cyber Security to go live, SafeMashups, Inc., provides such a authentication and authorization framework in its free web toolkit and SafeMashups Community Service.
Along with its enhanced JavaScript
enhancements spurred on by Google Chrome, the capabilities of a browser broadened their invention nearly fifteen years ago. These next few years should be more interesting, still!
