Certainly, we could post-it the current user experience into whatever we will have tomorrow, but if VR, AR, Speech, and AI and ample cheap private computing power don&amp;#x27;t excite people for the future of browsers and user agency, I don&amp;#x27;t know what will.&lt;p&gt;I know we&amp;#x27;ve been working on tech such as Servo for a long time, but sometimes even just being &amp;quot;better&amp;quot; isn&amp;#x27;t enough, especially when there&amp;#x27;s a large legacy gap to close. You also need to get lucky with a point where consumers are making massive changes and open to new things.&lt;p&gt;I think that time is much sooner than the &amp;quot;always 5--10 years quoted&amp;quot;, and you&amp;#x27;re going to see mind-blowing things on the web in general and supported by the browser and related services specifically. And I&amp;#x27;m betting (at least with my current career) that Mozilla will lead the charge.</text><parent_chain><item><author>gkoberger</author><text>Mozilla has had &amp;quot;we&amp;#x27;ll be #1 again once X is launched!&amp;quot; things since I was there 5 years ago (and servo was one of those things back then).
