Briefly tried the new Second Life Web Browser that I heard about from New World Notes in a post titled: Movable Metaverse: Japanese company creates 2nd Web-based Second Life browser. 

While the browser worked and I was able to log in transport around, I found the overall experience unsatisfying at this point, as I could not really do all the same things in Second Life I normally do - and using a Google Maps mash-up seems to be not quite the right way to go.

But that's just me, maybe I'm expecting too much from the first web browser experience of Second Life that actually works - that I can get to.   I was imagining I'd be doing and seeing everything in a browser the same way it's seen when running the Second Life client.  Perhaps, my expectations are unrealistic, at this point.  According to New World Notes:

"…..  The system has professional polish and runs fairly well; also, the company claims not to retain your account password and other data, which is instead transmitted directly to the Linden servers (they say.)  Judging by its Terms of Service, 3Di plans to earn revenue through advertising and sponsored promotions.

So which is the better SL-to-Web solution?

At the moment, I'd say the lovably modest hacker girl maintains the innovation lead, for you can pay L$ through AjaxLife, a potentially revolutionary innovation.  Movable Life has no discernible way of doing that.  What's more, Katharine has open sourced her code, while 3Di has not.  Still, they offer a compelling alternative; Internet Explorer-versus-Mozilla, let's say."
