The competition between browsers and Qihoo 360 for the "safest" Agent

In the past two weeks, the competition between Microsoft and Google's two major international giants on browsers was remarkable: In August 27, Microsoft's Internet Explorer 8.0 (IE8) beta version II was officially unveiled on Microsoft's official website; in September 2, Google launched the Chrome browser beta version for the first time worldwide. However, the browser war did not stop. In September 10, Qihoo 360 also upgraded its 360 security browser, which has been in public beta for more than four months, to the official version 1.2.

Zhou Hongyi made such a judgment on Qihoo's joining in the browser war: the birth of IE8 can be said that Microsoft blew the horn of the browser Defense War, it defends against the Windows API-centric economic system ecosystem platform established by Microsoft over the years. Google's Chrome browser is intended to compete with Microsoft, through some designs, Chrome is not only a browser, but also a network development platform, thus breaking the ecological balance of Microsoft's economic system. However, Qihoo 360 is about "the safest Browser ".

It is reported that Qihoo 360 began planning and developing secure browsers as early as the end of last year. On June 19, April 30 this year, Qihoo 360, together with Phoenix studio and Israeli security vendors, jointly launched the 360 security browser 0.5 test version, for the first time, security protection functions and applications such as "intelligent interception of malicious code on Web pages", "automatic shielding of malicious web sites", and "sandbox" were added to the browser, the standards of the Web security browser have been raised to a new level. As the world's first browser using the "sandbox" technology, the 360 security browser can completely isolate the execution of web programs from the real computer system in the "super security mode, in this way, no trojans on the webpage can infect the real system. In addition, you can scan the downloaded files in real time to avoid virus infection.
