New Firefox features threaten the dominant position of Google Search

According to foreign media reports, Firefox's threat to Microsoft's IE browser is already obvious to all. It is not surprising that, however, Firefox is changing the browsing habits of Internet users to a certain extent, such as searching.

In the new version of Firefox launched in last June, it is very easy for users to browse Web pages that have already been visited. Users do not need to remember the URL, because the address bar of the browser will automatically add the pages that have been visited.

There is no doubt that this function will reduce the number of times users use the search. Generally, you can search for webpages that have been visited but are not collected in a timely manner through the search engine.

In addition to Firefox, Microsoft IE 8 will also add similar features, so this feature is likely to become a standard feature of the browser. According to the Net Applications data of research institutions, in February this year, the market share of IE was 67.4%, while that of Firefox was 22%.

Of course, Google has not been in the same position. Three months after Mozilla launched the new Firefox version, Google launched its own browser Chrome, which also has similar features. Last month, Chrome's market share was 1.15%.

Even so, the search market is still very dynamic. After all, Firefox's new features cannot help users search for webpages that are accessed for the first time. However, this change in search habits may affect the development of search services. Google, the leader in the market, is naturally not good news.
