[IResearch news] When Google launched a Chrome browser test version a year ago today, there were two explanations for its appearance. The official explanation is Google's official blog
As stated above, "The network will develop better with more choices and innovations. Google Chrome will be another option, and we hope it will help improve the network ."
Another unofficial explanation that the outside world has been spreading is that Google hopes to occupy the browser market in the way it occupies the search market. So how is it done?
So far, Chrome has achieved a small success. According to data from foreign market research companies, it only occupies less than 3% of the market share, only ahead of opera, but lags behind Apple's Safari. this is not a bad thing for browsers launched for only one year.
The Linux and Mac operating systems are coming soon, and Google has just signed an agreement with Sony to bring its Vaio PC to the Chrome browser by default. In this way, I believe
The market share will soon rise. Although it cannot take the lead in the world, because Firefox browser users are 10 times more than it, while Internet
More Explorer users, but at least this is not a bad start.
However, the browser itself is still very basic. The extended application programming interfaces have not been installed yet. There are actually some, but they are not arranged on the released official browser. Therefore, it does not have a Firefox ecosystem to add components, and all aspects are in the testing stage.
The lack of extensions may leave users away, but there are still APIs, and chrome will soon support these interfaces.
Chrome may also launch another new feature: desktop notification. This function is currently written to the chromium file, but has not been loaded into the browser.
For chrome, users are mixed. As a daily browser, it is great, but it does not meet the user's needs in AD interception and plug-in installation, while other browsers have already reached the speed of chrome.
Especially in Safari, the speed of these days can be described as lightning, and Firefox is not too far apart. Although I have never tested the speed of the final version of opera 10, the browser also promises that the speed will be faster.
This may be the focus. When Scott
When McCloud announced the launch of chrome in a comic book at this time last year, Google explained, "the important thing is to help all browsers become more powerful, keep up with the changing network, and continue
Lay a solid foundation for modern network applications ...... We hope that people will accept this idea, challenge them, and continue to push forward Network Development Based on them ."
Chrome lags behind safari's market share, not to mention Firefox or Internet Explorer. However, since its launch, all mainstream browsers have improved significantly. Javascript has always been a leap in development.
Javascript means web applications. Of course, Google is one of the greatest contributors to Web applications. Google does not really care about which browser you use to access its services, as long as you access Google's services. From this point of view, most of Chrome's tasks have been completed.
Of course, Google has a larger blueprint: A web-based Chrome operating system built around browsers. The system has not yet been released, but details have begun to leak.
In a certain period of time, people do not think that Chrome will be a strong opponent of windows. But if it starts to run online, it will become much more interesting.
In the past year, Chrome has learned how to walk. Now it is ready to fly.
