One who controls the Internet is the king of this world
The only/primary way to access the internet is a web browser
As Google dominated in Search engine, it still cant collect more user specific behavior as Internet Explorer was the leader in the market segment.
Então, o Google lançou um navegador web baseado no Chromium que começou a impor padrões web modernos.
Os desenvolvedores começaram a adorar os padrões modernos e começaram a usar o Google Chrome como sua ferramenta de produção.
Por outro lado, a Microsoft seguiu estritamente os padrões herdados, activex, dlls etc
e quando os desenvolvedores adotaram o Chrome, seus sites começaram a funcionar melhor no Google Chrome e muito mal no Internet Explorer
Então os consumidores começaram a mudar para o Chrome.
Mais do que o Google Pushing Chrome, seus desenvolvedores que empurraram o Chrome para o sucesso.
>Microsoft sentiu a queimadura, e tentou reviver o Internet Explorer com novo motor e novos padrões e novos nomes... nada funciona
e finalmente a Microsoft desistiu de seus padrões legados e abraçou o cromo e relançou o IE como Edge.
now,
Google - usa chromium -> e roda Google Chrome
Microsoft - usa chromium -> e roda Microsoft Edge
Tentei o Microsoft Edge, just for 3 months
im never going back to Google Chrome because Microsoft Edge is less resource hungry [- google services] and more stable than my Google Chrome
As of Mar2021
Google Chrome has to reduce a lot of bloat
and Microsoft Edge has more features than Chrome but can add more intuitiveness to differentiate itself from Google Chrome
Now Coming to Search Engine,
Google is - most widely used search engine [just like in 80’s the default gateway of internet was yahoo]
Google is more of an ECosystem of internlinked services than a standalone search engine
the most influential factors for the dominance of Google Search are
- Google Analytics
- Google Adwords
- Google Adsense
Bing is a Search Engine - which remains as a stand alone search engine
- Bing does not have Analytics to compete against Google Analytics
- Bing has BingAds which is really good but the marketshare is very very low in all countries except US where its slightly better than the rest of the world
- Bing has BingRewards but not anywhere closer to Google Adsense
Hope this clarifies!!!
