The competition amongst browsers has been intense over the past year. Come to this session to hear from the Google Chrome, Firefox, and Internet Explorer teams about what they’ve done to make their browsers faster than ever before, and what developers can do to take advantage of these features.
Christian Stockwell is a Program Manager and works every day to improve Internet Explorer performance.
Mike Belshe has been an early member of the Google Chrome team, working on a number of performance-related areas including network speed, plugins, and javascript performance. Mike has worked at several startups in silicon valley over the last 15 years, including Netscape, Remarq, Good Technology, and Lookout Software. His performance work for the web started in 1995 when he was a lead engineer on the Netscape Enterprise Server 2.0 team. Ironically, he never thought he’d ever be working on browsers back then.
Christopher Blizzard has been with the Mozilla project for the better part of the decade. He maintained the GTK+ front end in Mozilla for a number of years as a contributor but recently joined the Corporation as a full time Mobile and Open Source Evangelist.

The MSIE part was pretty good, sort of an aknowledgement of past issues, a look into future improvements, and actually some suggestions about what web devs can do to get better perf out of MSIE.
The Chrome talk was a bit too much of a Chrome demo. We didn’t get anything actionable.
