Further, the companies plan to make the browsing experience through extensions safer. There will be a specified consistent model and common core of functionality, APIs, and permissions. What’s the idea behind working together? One of the key reasons that the companies will work together is to make extension creation easier for developers. All browsers will continue to operate their extension store fully independently, with their own technical, review, and editorial policies. And this is something that will not change despite having a ‘common’ goal. Extensions can be downloaded from the various individual stores available on browsers. “With multiple browsers adopting a broadly compatible model for extensions in the last few years, the WECG is excited to explore how browser vendors and other interested parties can work together to advance a common browser extension platform,” noted the community group between the four companies. Why have the tech companies come together? The companies have created an online forum - WebExtensions Community Group - to give engineers a platform to build unified and secure extensions. The companies announced they are coming together at the World Wide Web Consortium, as per the report. Extensions are the add-ons in top browsers which can be downloaded to improve the overall user experience. The report states that teams working at Google Chrome, Apple Safari, Microsoft Edge and Mozilla Firefox will work together to improve extensions in their browsers. Apple, Google, Microsoft and others are coming together to improve internet browsing, according to a report by Cnet.
