First Piece of Mozilla?s Web Apps Project Arrives, But Can it Outfox Chrome?

At great long last, Mozilla has revealed the first developer release of their Web Apps Project, which aims to build the infrastructure for an open web app ecosystem. Back in May of 2010, Google announced plans for what would become the Chrome Web Store. Mozilla responded immediately with plans for its own web store, now known as the Web Apps Project. Perhaps unsurprisingly, Google was first to the punch; the Chrome Web Store launched in December, and we've been waiting for Mozilla's "more open" rejoinder since. The initial phase of Mozilla's project is finally here and shows that the company is making a serious attempt to take advantage of what few limitations there are in Chrome's ecosystem. Of course, whether it can compete toe-to-toe in the long run remains to be seen.
