Key Features

  • HTML 5 – Essentially this means more people will be able to support markup such as the video tag and footer tag, which makes the internet a more indefinable place. We can also stop using those annoying < object> tags to play flash videos (Which normally causes invalid code).
  • TraceMonkey JavaScript Engine – This makes our JavaScript run faster, which means we can use jQuery less sparingly.
  • Geo-Location – We can easily localize our users experience.
  • More CSS Features – Mainly the ability to download fonts, which gives us more freedom with typography.
