Holistic Web Browsing: Trends Of The Future
The future of the Web is everywhere. The future of the Web is not at your desk. It’s not necessarily in your pocket, either. It’s everywhere. With each new technological innovation, we continue to become more and more immerd in the Web, connecting the ever-growing layer of information in the virtual world to the real one around us. But rather than get starry-eyed with utopian wonder about this bright future ahead, we should soberly anticipate the massive amount of planning and design work it will require of designers, developers and others.
The gap between technological innovation and its integration in our daily lives is shrinking at a rate much faster than we can keep pace with—consider the number of unique Web ap
plications you signed up for in the past year alone. This has resulted in a very fragmented experience of the Web. While running veral different browrs, with all sorts of plug-ins, you might also be running multiple standalone applications to manage feeds, social media accounts and music playlists.
Even though we may be adept at switching from one tab or window to another, we should be working towards a more holistic Web experience, one that amlessly integrates all of the functionality we need in the simplest and most contextual way. With this in mind, let’s review four trends that designers and developers would be wi to obrve and integrate into their work so as to pave the way for a more holistic Web browsing experience:

1. The Browr As Operating System
Thanks to the massive growth of Web productivity applications, creative tools and entertainment options, we are spending more time in the browr than ever before. The more time we spend there, the less we make u of the many tools in the larger operating system that actually runs the browr. As a result, we’re beginning to expect the same high level of reliability and sophistication in our Web experience that we get from our operating system.
满载一船星辉For the most part, our expectations have been met by such innovations as Google’s Gmail, Talk, Calendar and Docs applications, which all offer varying degrees of integration with one another, and online image editing tools like Picnik and Adobe’s online version of Photoshop. And tho expectations will continue to be met by upcoming releas, such as the Chrome operating system—we’re already thinking of our browrs as operating systems. Doing everything on the Web was once a pipe dream, but now it’s a reality.
UBIQUITY
秋天的描述
The one limitation of Web browrs that becomes more and more obvious as we make greater u of applications in the cloud is the lack of usable connections between open tabs. Most urs have grown accustomed to keeping many tabs open, switching back and forth rapidly between Gmail, Google Calendar, Google Docs and various social media tools. But this switching from tab to tab is indicative of broken connections between applications that really ought to be integrated.
Mozilla is attempting to functionally connect tools that we u in the browr in a more intuitive and rich way with Ubiquity. While it’s definitely a step in the right direction, the command-line approach may be a barrier to entry for tho unable to let go of the mou. In the screenshot below, you can e how Ubiquity allows you to quickly map a location shown on a Web page without having to open Google Maps in another tab. This is one example of integrated functionality without which you would be required to copy and paste text from one tab to another. Ubiquity’s core capability, which is creating a holistic b

rowsing experience by understanding basic commands and executing them using appropriate Web applications, is certainly the direction in which the browr is heading.
This approach, wedded to voice-recognition software, may be how we all navigate the Web in the next decade, or sooner: hands-free.

Meanwhile, smaller, quieter releas have been paving the way to holistic browsing. This past summer, Firefox relead an update to its software that includes a brand new JavaScript engine called TraceMonkey. This engine delivers a significant boost in speed and image-editing functionality, as well as the ability to play videos without third-party software or codecs.
Aside from the speed advances, which are always welcome, the image and video capabilities are perfect examples of how the browr is encroaching on the operating system’s territory. Being able to edit images in the browr could replace the need for loc
