Google will not develop its own browser

On May 31, Google CEO Eric Schmidt told the industry that the world's leading online search company would not develop a separate Web browser to compete with Internet Explorer (IE) version 7.0. Microsoft.

Eric Schmidt also acknowledged that the demand for browsers is now almost saturated because most users have felt satisfied with browsers such as IE, Firefox, Safari and Opera. " We won't build a new browser if that's just for fun ."

Eric Schmidt also reiterated Google's concern about Microsoft's upcoming version of IE 7.0, that this version will make it difficult for users to decide to use a search engine other than Microsoft.

Recently, Google also filed a lawsuit with the content on the US Department of Justice, but the law did not accept. Also according to Eric Schmidt, though, Google hopes Microsot does not make it difficult for users to decide to use their own search engine. Reportedly, IE 7.0 will be integrated into Windows Vista, the next version of Windows operating system, expected to be released early next year.

Google is still the world's leading online search engine with 43% of the US market share (as of April 2006), surpassing both Yahoo (28%) and MSN (13%).
