★ Tariq Krim: “Firefox, as an application, will die out”

I recently interviewed Tariq Krim, the creator of Jolicloud and Netvibes. When asked about the switch over to the Chromium rendering engine for Jolicloud he replied:

I’m a big supporter of Mozilla ever since it was created. However after speaking for a long time with John Lilly, Mozilla’s ex-CEO, the browser, as an application, will die out and the only important thing that will remain will be their rendering engine. We’ll be able to install it everywhere as a component.
