Google si Firefox pregatesc browser login

Google a facut o schimbare la sistemul de operare Chrome de a muta autentificarea din masina in browser.Cei de la TechCrunch cred ca acesta vor folosi Google Friend Connect pentru a facilitata autentificarea.

“Using Chrome as our login manager has a number of potential benefits.
Explore these tradeoffs and decide what to do about the login manager.” The code was checked in on December 14: “An early version of this change is finally in. It’s not ready for daily use yet, and we haven’t gotten the network picker on there or anything yet, but at least we’ve got a baseline in there. I’m filing issues for the follow-on work.”

Cei de la Google vor sa centralizeze sistemele de autentificare, rezumandu-se la Friend Connect ce suporta autentificare pe Google,Twitter,Yahoo,AIM,Netlog,OpenID etc. Singura problema este ca se izbesc de Facebook Connect care devine o solutie din ce in ce mai populara pentru a te autentifica pe site-uri cu autentificare thrid-party. De aceea Chrome OS trebuie sa devina extrem de popular pentru a putea reprezenta o amenintare pentru Facebook Connect. 😀

DAR

Your identity is too important to be owned by any one company.
Your friends are too important to be owned by any one company.

O abordare asemanatoare se incearca sa se construiasca si la Mozilla, asa zisa identitate in browsere.Practic acestea ne spun ca nu este corect ca o singura companie sa ne detina toate informatiile confidentiale,toti prietenii etc.Ei ofera o solutie : browserul.

„The browser is your personal and trusted agent to the web. It’s the only actor on the Internet stage which both knows everything you do on the web, and never has to let that data leave the privacy of your desktop. Your browser knows you (or, at least, should).”

Acestea incearca sa construiasca cateva alternative in laboratoarele Mozilla , browserul fiind solutia de la care se porneste. 😀

Idee o vad extrem de interesanta, pe langa cloud computers si probabil in 5 ani va deveni ceva de care vom depinde. 🙂
