Browsers: The age of application is the trend

Can you imagine when you open a Notepad and record your mood, it's actually an online site, and when you play some fancy games, these programs don't run on your computer--as technology grows, the Web can do more and more--work, learn, play, The internet has gradually penetrated into every aspect of life. Known as the "Internet gateway" browser is no longer just a web browsing tool, from the manufacturer to the user, all hope that the browser can carry more features. The concept of "application" came into being, and the big browser giants began to compete in the "Application".

Application is the general trend

In fact, the concept of "application" has been available for a long time and has been recognized by users on mobile phones. But on the computer, the application is still in the initial stage. The reason is that the development and use of the concept of immaturity caused. Just as no one has ever thought of shopping online or paying utilities online, no one has considered using programs on the Internet that should be running on a computer, such as drawing, editing documents, etc. With the maturity of cloud computing technology, the boundaries between online applications and local programs are becoming blurred, and using browsers to cross online and local apps is no longer a myth. At the same time, mobile phone platform application of the hot development, but also stimulated the application of PC platform investment, at present, including Google, Apple, Mozilla, such as companies are in the browser application platform for research and development, and small results.

At present, compared to traditional web sites and local programs, the application has the following advantages:

Easy to use: The application has simple, function single characteristics, for users, just find a specific application, can quickly and easily meet a demand.

Easy to develop: for developers, the existence of application patterns greatly reduces the cost of development. The application platform provided by the browser, a small team, and even individuals may complete the past a super team to complete the work.

Easy to profit: Mobile stores have shown that a less than 10 yuan application is more popular with consumers than hundreds of apps-and that the cost of development and operations makes it possible.

Cross-platform: for the same user, in order to often withstand the different platform of experience fragmentation and data limbo. With the existence of online applications, no matter on any platform, the user can continue to use smoothly.

For browsers, the new era will be the "application" era. If you can provide a faster, lighter way to use than traditional programs, it's clear that people are more willing to start a day with apps than traditional apps-say hello to friends through chat apps, receive emails via online email, and read news via web apps.

A disagreement about the future

Although the development of "application" has a certain consensus, but on how to "use", the views of major manufacturers are not uniform. Google believes that all local programs should be online, such as Google provides online documentation, online storage and other businesses. At the same time, in the development of Chrome OS, Google reinforces the idea that it cancels the local storage function and does not have an offline program. Although the current Chrome OS is too advanced, in most parts of the world is difficult to achieve, but in the foreseeable future, when the network at the Gbps level calculation, "Everything in the cloud" will not be a dream.

The quick one step is the genius, fast person two steps is the madman. Although the concept of "everything in the Clouds" is very good, but in the future for a long time is only a concept, no Gbps level of network transmission support, "All in the clouds" will only become "God horse is a cloud."

Compared to Google's radical, domestic browser companies are mostly conservatives, including many use the chrome kernel of the "dual-core browser" are afraid to follow, but also limited by the lack of core technology, the direction of development by Google, in the future development of dilemma.

Proud tour benefits from the core independent research and development, in the domestic browser industry unique, began to develop their own "fast application" system. "Fast application" although and "application" only a word of the difference, but because of the autonomy of travel, innovation and there are different.

Proud Tour "Fast application" concept is fuzzy online and local boundaries, so that users regardless of the use of network applications, or local programs to experience the same time. At present, the proud tour "Fast application" function has just taken the first step: to save the online site as a local application, which is a step to achieve the localization of network applications. With this feature, users can browse the Web and use the online functionality as they would with local programs.

In addition to the above mentioned "application" has the advantages, AO Tour "Fast Application" also has the following characteristics:

1, desktop-through the Proud tour "fast application" using a variety of online features will not feel the difference with the local program, such as the use of the computer installed in the program as convenient.

2, support a single site multiple applications: Proud Tour "Fast application" using isolated storage mode, can support the same site to generate multiple applications, and each application can log on to different users-Google would like to achieve this on the network, which requires all the site to support, is clearly a difficult task.

3, faster-this is clearly proud of the "fast application" the reason for the name. Proud Tour "Fast Application" features targeted optimization of the application framework, each application will not load any of the unrelated components, fast, experience good.

From the current stage of network development, in a long time, proud of the "fast application" concept is clearly more in line with the actual situation. According to the news from the Proud tour, proud tour of the "Fast application" platform is being developed, this will be an open, win-win platform. Although the technical details and timetable are not disclosed, but the reference proud tour has been the innovation consciousness, I believe that proud tour "Fast application" platform will be the future of the browser industry a unique landscape.
