Firefox and Opera dudes on the subject of Native Client:
hese native apps are just little black boxes in a webpage. [...] We really believe in HTML, and this is where we want to focus.
aCl seems to be 'yearning for the bad old days, before the web'. Native Client is about building a new platform ? or porting an old platform into the web [...] it will bring in complexity and security issues, and it will take away focus from the web platform
