p2pnet.net News:- The WaSP (Web Standards Project) says it’s handing its BrowseHappy campaign to WordPress because although it serves an important role, “its lack of neutrality has actually put WaSP in a compromising position by seemingly showing favoritism toward specific browsers”.

BrowseHappy was launched by WaSP, “to make more people aware that there are better and more secure alternatives to Internet Explorer”.

(Ain’t that the truth ; )

The URL will remain the same, but WordPress is now the official host and sponsor of the project, and WaSP as a group will have no influence over BrowseHappy’s future, it states.

"WordPress has always been focused on web standards and providing the very best experience for our users, and a good browser is a necessary baseline,” says Matt Mullenweg, one of the WordPress lead developers.

“We’re more than happy to take BrowseHappy under our wing and keep this valuable community resource up-to-date and relevant to as many people as possible."
