(to the president)
Dear Dmitry Anatolyevich.
I want to inform you that such news internet.cnews.ru/news/top/index.shtml?2009/09/10/361401 about creating your own browser for officials undermines respect for the power of those who have not yet lost the remnants of this respect and remind others that nothing changes in our country.
People who are well aware of what a browser is, behind the text of this news they see a few simple words: THEFT, INCOMPETENCE, INADVENESS, and IMPEDIENCY.
a) A lot of taxpayer money will be drunk and pumped out. Why? Do because there is no other way.
b) The phrase “what ordinary Internet Explorer cannot provide” indicates an extreme degree of incompetence in the question. The equal sign between "browser" and "Internet Explorer" is put only by people who have a computer literacy level of primary school age.
In addition to Trident (MSHTML), which is the basis of MSIE, there are more in the world:
WebKit is a free and open engine that Google put emphasis on when it developed its Google Chrome browser (based on the same browser, Safari).
Official site - webkit.org/
Wikipedia article - ru.wikipedia.org/wiki/WebKit
Geko is a free and open source engine based on the Mozilla Firefox browser.
Wikipedia article - ru.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gecko
Opera Presto Engine: ru.wikipedia.org/wiki/Presto_%28Opera%29
And, actually, Opera: opera.com/
It makes no sense to create a Russian browser with enhanced security, because There are already a huge number of browsers, including open source, that fully meet the modern requirements of security, speed and user-friendliness of the interface. Creating a "own browser" is akin to the invention of a bicycle. In the best case, the story with the WSWS will be repeated, where the changes regarding the base Red Hat were only in the screensavers, icons, and some (not all, even the help is not translated) texts.
One gets the feeling that the goal in creating a Russian browser is to create another corruption scheme for “cutting” taxpayers' money.
If the Russian browser is created, then it will most likely be used only “from a stick” at the time when it will be necessary to report that the “deployment was successful.”
This is just another shame, and I, like many other people, are very “offended for the power”.
I am sure that you, as a person who actively uses modern IT achievements in life and in work, will be able to change the situation with similar projects for the better.
We are looking forward to other news, which will not be read the words given in the three paragraphs above.
Sincerely.
