Sina Science and technology news Beijing time September 2, according to foreign media reports, familiar with the source said, Google will be the earliest to launch a browser tomorrow for users to download, and Microsoft launched a new "war."

In addition, the famous Science and technology blog, headquartered in Germany, Google blogoscoped (Google) published a comic book, the content of the new browser technology is clearly a description of the problem. Sources said that Google's open source browser named "Chrome."

Before that, the struggle between Google and Microsoft was more like a "Cold War", most limited to Google's development of small, web-based software to compete with Microsoft's dominant Word, PowerPoint and other products, while Microsoft has been trying to break Google's monopoly on the search market, but has not yet succeeded.

But Google's move will make the war between the two more white-hot. Surveys show that Microsoft's share of the browser market is about 3/4, and Google is trying to grab a significant chunk out of it. Inside Google, rumors have been circulating about the launch of the browser for a long time, but no one knows when it will be released.

It's clear that Google has sent the cartoons to Google for printing via FedEx, perhaps to others. Here's what this comic book is about:

Sources say Google plans to launch its own browser because of concerns that the new features of Microsoft's IE8 might be detrimental to its search business, including features such as privacy and a more Microsoft-centric search bar, which could make it impossible to collect information about the effectiveness of its ads.

In recent years, Google has been supporting Mozilla's Firefox browser to challenge Microsoft IE's dominance, the latter from the once-strong Netscape browser "Reborn", the market share quickly reached an astonishing 18%, Microsoft IE 74%, Apple Safari for 6%. In just two years, Firefox has a market share of only 11%. Mozilla6 month in the middle of the launch of Firefox 3, released 24 hours after the download reached 8.3 million times.

Google last week extended its search contract with Mozilla to 2010 to obtain a permanent configuration on Firefox, including the default home page and the default search bar selection. Since then, Google has paid a sum of money to Mozilla for ad clicks from Firefox search.

But it is clear that renewing the Mozilla contract is not enough for Google, which has apparently decided that it must own or distribute its own browsers, especially if it becomes the largest company in the network-related software industry.

In other words, Microsoft will take the browser as the future flagship product, this strategy is completely correct. (Tangfeng)
