Re: [tdf-discuss] Re: Adding the browser to Libreoffice

Mmmh.

What about extensions for existing browsers ?

You talk about creating a browser without even a differenciation factor
which makes the idea irrelevant. And I'm not even talking about the
resources as some of you might have mentioned.

But on the other side, browser extensions might actually be a good idea,
especially for Firefox and Chrome. Opening an odt directly in you browser
via a LibreOffice extension for example ?
