Chrome expands the hegemony of Google on the Internet

Chrome expands the hegemony of Google on the Internet

It was one of the best kept secrets of Google. His laboratory has been working for over a year in the draft, but someone was wrong and gave the submit button prematurely with a confidential information which spread rapidly via the Internet. Chrome, the first browser from Google, was made public to force this morning but its official premiere starts at 21 (hours mainland) on September 2, when users around the world can be downloaded in its first version tests from www.google.com/chrome

Google insists highlight three words to define Chrome: stable, fast and intuitive.

The company's efforts have focused on these three points to create a browser to repeat the success of its browser. "We want to maintain the same philosophy in Chrome, which is simple, that does not disturb the user," explained Hugo Barra, director of product Google.

Chrome, prima facie, looks like a compendium of the many advances that already incorporates the most advanced browsers such as tabbed browsing or the ability to suggest directions just typing a word, but reinterpret and enhanced by Google.

The approach of business that Google itself is more surprising because Chrome is entirely based on open source and, from today, any developer can not only know what technology is behind Chrome, if not that you can use for their own benefit and incorporate it into their products without restriction

"Our goal is to boost the industry, there is more innovation, which will further stimulate the user", Barra has insisted that comes to defending this philosophy of Good Samaritan of Google, which aims to "organize the world's information" what we might add "without asking anything in return," as is clear from the words of its executives.

Chrome will not be subject to Adsense advertising system with which operates the search engine. "Chrome does not favour any application, nor so even those of Google. We just want the best browser for the user," he stressed bar to the questions of the most unbelievers.

A browser instead of an operating system

The approach Google is actually a long-term bet. "We believe that in the next 10 years the Internet will evolve more than it has done in the past decade," he pointed at one of its explanations Barra, who does not hide that Chrome is very united in its commitment to Web applications, where his company can actually reach Scramble to Microsoft, which has dominated the personal computing through its control of the operating system.

But today only need a browser to access a spreadsheet, e-mail or a word processor. And that Google knows this very well, because it has all these programs, and now also with Chrome, the browser will access their applications and those of others. "We hope that Chrome also stimulates the birth of new applications", said Barra.

Google fleeing any comments that highlight the great hegemony that is getting on the Internet, and argues that all its policies are trying to generate competition on the website. But what will happen to Firefox now that its main benefactor creates a browser itself?

No problem, according to Google, who recalls just renewed their agreement to continue providing funds to the Mozilla Foundation, creator of Firefox, 2011.

"Our relationship with Mozilla has not changed at all. We continue to work closely with the developer community and Firefox will be able to benefit from all the innovations we have incorporated in Chrome", this engineer has assured most used search engine in the world.
