This is the right approach. AOL-Time Warner, which purchased Netscape a few years ago and continued the process of creating a free, open source browser engine (called Mozilla), has decided to drop the one-size-fits-all model and to instead concentrate on creating a slim web viewing tool into which additional functionality may be added as needed.

Attempting to 'hardwire' all these features to the integrated application suite is not legitimate; it's neither technically nor socially scaleable."
