      An intriguing new add-on from the team that’s still developing Ubiquity extends the promise of a browser that you can change yourself to suit your own purposes.

      When you’re a developer with Mozilla Labs or another open source laboratory, one of the things you’ll often find yourself doing is “launching” a project before it’s anywhere near complete. That’s what it means to be truly open. In the case of Aza Raskin and his design team, last night, he “launched” (that’s Mozilla’s term for it) a project to encourage Web site developers to build simpler but more accessible add-ons for the Firefox browser, by means of a JavaScript API and Firefox plug-in called JetPack.

      Although Firefox is itself an exercise in JavaScript, crafting plug-ins to do simple things is not a simple matter. There’s actually a cottage economy developing already around plug-ins, which Jetpack could disrupt merely by giving everyday programmers simpler means to make additions to the browser. “Specifically, Jetpack will be an exploration in using Web technologies to enhance the browser ..
