The browser should become a platform

If you want to gain some benefits in the browser market of Microsoft IE, such as Google Chrome, it must have some unique advantages, and it should aim at Firefox with a small share. However, Google Chrome does not have plug-in functions, and Mozilla Firefox is widely supported because of its rich plug-in support. Therefore, Google Chrome is better to find another one. There is no doubt that Chrome will eventually support plug-ins, but currently it can only hold high speed.

It is reported that Google recently said that the page loading speed of the latest Chrome browser 2.0.172.28 has increased by 30%. However, it is ironic that the speed of Chrome is improved only because of its lack of plug-in support. Like Firefox, the more plug-ins a user uses, the slower the speed of Firefox.

In addition to improving the back-end V8 JavaScript Engine and Webkit kernel engine, Google also added some new features to Chrome. One feature allows users to delete some embarrassing websites that frequently access the website list when opening a new tag of the Chrome browser. In addition, the new version of Chrome browser also has full screen mode and automatic table filling function.

Last week, Mozilla announced a project to improve the current plug-in functionality. The Mozilla-based Flock browser focuses development on social networks. The new version of Flock 2.5 supports Twitter including search), Facebook chat, cross-page photos, and Facebook blogs.

Although Chrome, Firefox, Opera, and Safari currently have few shares in the Windows browser market, they all know that the computer world is moving towards browser-based development, browser competition should focus on building a persistent computing platform, and the substitution program will eventually become a thing of the past. In other words, Mozilla and Microsoft should be careful. Google is slowly building a Chrome browser and will soon integrate its numerous online Web applications and services.
