addoncon_dec_08.jpgWhile we are no closer to really knowing what the future of the browser holds, today's closing keynote at Add-on Con in Mountain View CA gave us a brief glimpse into the future of Chrome (out of beta today), IE and Firefox.

The Future of the Web Browser keynote brought together Joshua Allen (Microsoft), Mike Shaver (Mozilla) and Brian Rakowski (Google) on a panel moderated by JSON creator Douglas Crockford who opened the session by apologizing for Opera not making the conference - their headquarters are in Norway, he explained. "Apple is about eight miles from here; you can do that drive in ten minutes if you're motivated. The reason they are not here is they do not want to talk with you," he said with a grin. And thus, the final session of the day began.
