| | The last time I switched web browsers was back in 2012, when everyone at my company started using Google Chrome. I switched because I didn't want to feel left out.
In that time, I haven't considered switching back to anything else. But for the first time in decades, Fast Company reports that a new startup is building a web browser from scratch. It wants to build a browser that works on cheap computers, including the Raspberry Pi.
Funny timing, right? We just discussed whether or not non-engineering folks could do their jobs on Chromebooks. Is this the next step towards living in a (business) world driven by less powerful hardware? Let me know what you think in this new SaaSOps Community thread. |
