I tried balancing my positive and negative remarks about this prototype release of Personas. I find it restrictive for now but I really hope that more options are coming on the next version as you have mentioned in Mozilla Labs and in your comment. Thanks for dropping by. Best regards on the project. Thanks cbeard. I tried balancing my positive and negative remarks about this prototype release of Personas.

In the current prototype Mozilla Labs is hosting both the JSON feed that specifies the available designs as well as the individual graphic files that are served up to form the Persona. The next version will support more than just graphic files as we hope to allow general Web content types to be displayed, so that designs can take advantage of the scripting and graphics capabilities available now through SVG and Canvas. We'll have more details soon, but the method we'll use to sandbox this content is actually going to be more restrictive than what happens when you browse to a site through the URL bar. Personas will never have access to the chrome of your browser or other privileged content, except through a very tightly controlled API. Thanks for your feedback. As we said, this is but a simple example of what's possible and look forward to working with the broader community to evolve the concept. cbeard@mozilla.org We’re absolutely paranoid about security.
