One of the easiest ways to get the jump on your fellow developers is to keep a close eye on upcoming versions of your favorite browsers. Here are three important browsers to watch: --

From this November
Internet Explorer team had started work on
IE9, which is great news. IE9 is bringing about improvements in JavaScript performance, hardware acceleration for graphics, and some promising signs on the CSS3 support front. Chances are slim that IE9 will appear on desktops before 2011, but in the meantime,we can all look forward to get plenty of updates from the IE team as they work on the latest version. There is improve support in IE that site developers use, the score will continue to go up. A more meaningful (from the point of view of web developers) example of standards support involves rounded corners. Here’s IE9 drawing rounded corners, along with the underlying mark-up:
Firefox has also launched its latest version Firefox 3.6 and it's full of lovely new bells and whistles.This browser is made supportive with background images and gradients, and has support for HTML 5's local file access API. Firefox 3.6 was originally slated for a late 2009 release, but has yet to reach release candidate status -- so keep a close eye out.
Google Chrome Extensions are finally here. Will this help Chrome chip away at Firefox's market share in 2010, especially among those of us who love our Web Developer Toolbar and Firebug? We put this to our Twitter friends and responses were mixed indeed: some people absolutely can't wait, while other friends are fairly loyal to Firefox. One thing's for sure -- in 2010, as more extensions appear, there'll be more incentive to try Chrome.
