Ori, Thank you for this fun-to-read introduction to
Module Storage.
I wonder if this will have any affect on low bandwidth
users. It seems
like this would help if someone had only a 2G/GPRS connection, but do a
lower percentage of those users have browsers that can use Module
Storage? If so, is there anything that we can to do address this issue?
I imagine there are things we could do in the
software, but those things
would take work and time that might not make sense for limited
resources. Would it make sense to see if Mozilla has any interest in
helping to spread HTML5-capable browsers via USB keychains and/or local
Mozillians?
Hrm... I should probably go ask them about that. But
I'm curious about
your perspective and to see if we have any information on the bandwidth
available to various users.
Most of our mobile traffic is genrated by iOS and Android - both of
which support LocalStorage, so it will work for them too. The
situation for mobile users in developing countries is less certain -
lots of various browsers with wildly varied support of modern
features. Still, it's a huge improvement for the majority of users.
