Google will launch tomorrow (3 / 09) and own a browser free, in clear challenge to Microsoft, which has in the Explorer its main source of income. The search engine Google is called Chrome.
Google's browser, to be called Chrome, will be available tomorrow at its beta (test) in a total of 100 countries, as have the directors of the company in his Internet blog official.
The announcement of the browser has been interpreted by the entry of Google domains to Microsoft, a company that grew into a giant thanks to the leadership of its operating system, Windows and its browser, Explorer.
"All we spent much time in a browser. Searching, chat, send emails, buy and read news in a browser. Therefore, we began to think seriously about how it would be if the design from scratch," said Sundar Pichai on the blog, vice president for product management, and Linus Upson, director of engineering. "The network has evolved both with new applications and programmes, we realized that we need not only a browser, but a new modern platform," said.
With this philosophy was born Chrome, a browser "straightforward, simple and fast" in appearance, but with a configuration ready to receive applications and complex that populate the network.
One of the new features that incorporates Chrome is to isolate each web page that opens, so that, if it crashes, the rest collapse.
However, the directors announced that the version that will disseminate morning is just the beginning, since it opened a discussion forum to improve it before its launch.
In addition, the program will have an open source, so that programmers can develop their own applications, something that so many other Google products.
In the blog, managers also commented that there will be a Mac version of Chrome and Linux.En Today, Microsoft has 72% of the market for browsers with Explorer, by far Mozilla, Firefox, which has with 20%, and Safari, Apple, with 6.4%.
The official text of Google, signed by Sundar Pichai, vice president of Product Management, and Linus Upson, director of Engineering, is as follows:
In Google We have a saying: "launch new programs fast and go better with time." While this foma is usually reserved to operate our engineers, apparently also applies to our mail room. As could have read in the blogosphere, press "send" early and dispatched a comic book - are here - where we presented our new Chrome open-source browser. This Tuesday we will be launching the beta version of Chrome in over 100 countries.
Why launched Chrome? Because we believe we can add value to our users and at the same time, contribute to advancing innovation on the Web.
In Google spent much of our time using a browser. We use it to search, chat, access and edit documents and presentations, send emails, etc.. Of course, like many people, when we have some free time also buy things, we make banking transactions, we read news and remain in touch with friends - all from a browser. So, like all Internet users spent an increasing amount of time online and do things they never imagined making the first browser for over 15 years.
Because we spent so much time in line began to think seriously about how it would be if a browser and start from scratch if they take advantage of the best components and resources out there. Whereas the Web has evolved (starting from simple text pages to interactive applications today) we must completely rethink the role of navigator. In fact what we really needed was not a browser, but rather a platform to run applications and web pages. That is precisely what we build.
That is why today we are releasing the beta version of a new open-source browser: Google Chrome.
On the surface we strive to design a window cleaner and simpler. For most people the browser is not what matters. It is simply a tool for what matters-pages, sites and applications that make up the website. Like the classical home page of Google, Google Chrome is clean and fast. It removes your way and lets you do what you need to do.
Its interior, beneath the surface, which are built the foundations of a browser that can run the demanding and complex applications today. Keeping each tab on its own "atmosphere" isolated avoid a tab that will generate a fault in another. It also improves the browser's ability to protect against sites that are badware. Speed and response time were other significant improvements. We built V8 engine JavaScript most powerful boost to the next generation of Web applications that are not even possible in today's browsers.
This is only the beginning and we know that Google still lacks Chrome way to go. We launched the beta for Windows to generate a constructive dialogue in this area and to know what you think. We are also working hard in versions for Mac and Linux and will continue making Google Chrome a browser faster and more robust.
We owe much to several open source projects and have our commitment to continue its path. We use components of Apple WebKit and Mozilla Firefox, among others, and is in the same spirit that our code will also remain open. We look forward to working with the community and thus boost the future of the Web.
Every day the Web becomes better, with more choice and innovation. Google Chrome is an alternative and we hope to contribute to the development of the Internet.
Visit us tomorrow and chrome Google test for yourself. We will make another blogpost here just to be ready for download.
