Mozilla's Commitment to the Gecko Engine

With launch of Google Chrome browser, the Applie invention, already popular Web Sites Rendering Engine "WebKit" scored big time! Its FAST, very light weight and efficent! and since the definition of FAST on the web isnt just loading the page anymore, but the smooth execution of the scripts in the loaded web site is! (Think surfing in FACEBOOK or anyother script heavy website, which are becoming a norm nowdays). WebKit has a supercharged JavaScript Engine, but why isnt Mozilla making the move? Well current engine, "Gecko" is one heck of a JUGGERNAUT (Made by Netscape), but its very heavy too! (FireFox memory usage anyone??) anyhow i will leave the rest for you to read in the original article..
