With this Beta version, the development team behind the Weave Sync add-on has focused on 3 ares:
- Speed - the add-on now uses heuristics to compute an “interestingness” score. You know how pages that you acces more often popup top of the list in the AwesomeBar? Thanks to the “interestingness” score, the Weave Sync add-on does the same.
- Ease of use - the UI (user interface) has been simplified. Even novice users should get the hang of it in a couple of minutes or so. The interesting thing is that the UI is flexible enough to accommodate experienced users as well.
- Unobtrusiveness - the Weave Sync add-on works in the background and when the computer is idle. This means your regular Firefox experience will not be interrupted by Weave Sync. The Weave Sync add-on also uses what Mozilla calls “the incremental sync behavior” – data is synced in chunks, and according to the “interestingness” score mentioned above.
