The software industry should be a mature industry and there should be no oligarchy or dual-headed monopoly. However, the current web browser market is completely controlled by the three giants in the Microsoft, Google, Apple and other technical industries. How can this be explained? All three vendors have developed important browser development plans and regularly updated browser products. Of course, in addition to them, there is also a Mozilla Foundation. Firefox open-source browsers also have a certain market share.
Competition is always a good thing, especially in the current web browser field. Browsers are constantly adding new features. Maybe a year or two later, browser-based applications will become exactly the same as desktop applications. Maybe two years later, we will be able to see browser applications with exactly the same functionality as Photoshop or PowerPoint, and can be used on desktops, laptops, and smartphones.
The upcoming changes in the browser industry may be similar to Ajax in recent years. Ajax is the name of a part of the content in software programming technology.
Before the emergence of Ajax technology, a common webpage is a set of static webpages. Software developers can use Ajax to change the Screen Display Effect of a local webpage. For example, different content is displayed when the mouse points to different regions of a map. Ajax also allows webpage movement in other ways. You can right-click the menu and choose different operations as needed.
The components of this new browser programming technology are mysterious. Google and Apple's latest browser software have added a fast New Javascript compiler that allows programmers to use standard programming languages to quickly display web pages. Another new component is the Canvas display technology developed by Apple, which allows programmers to use text and images more freely.
