Browser Panel
Browsers are the door to the Web. In the last few years browser vendors have dramatically increased their focus on performance. This is the ultimate fulfillment of “fast by default” – faster browsers mean a faster web. But there’s more work to do – custom fonts, SVG and canvas, web sockets, caching, prefetching, etc. Developers also need better tools and instrumentation in order to know what to optimize. Come hear from the Internet Explorer, Firefox, and Chrome teams about what they’re working on, and let them know what the next generation of browsers need to have to make web apps fast.

Hi Gautam, we did not record this panel, so we won’t be posting video of this one.
Guys when is the video of the panel going be available?
I’m excited to have this opportunity to have YOU ask questions about these browsers. What performance features do you think are critical? What’s in HTML5 that needs to happen ASAP? What isn’t in any specs right now that we need the browser vendors to work on?
