WebAIM: Blog - History of the browser user-agent string

by François Hodierne & 2 others

And thus Chrome used WebKit, and pretended to be Safari, and WebKit pretended to be KHTML, and KHTML pretended to be Gecko, and all browsers pretended to be Mozilla, and Chrome called itself Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US) AppleWebKit/525.13 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/0.2.149.27 Safari/525.13, and the user agent string was a complete mess, and near useless, and everyone pretended to be everyone else, and confusion abounded.

Pourquoi Google a sorti son navigateur Chrome - Standblog

Internet Explorer, pour Google, a deux gros inconvénients :

  • 1. il est peu performant (et peu sécurisé) et évolue très peu, donc il limite ce que Google peut proposer comme services innovants à ses utilisateurs.
  • 2. il est contrôlé par une société, Microsoft, qui est en concurrence frontale avec Google sur plusieurs points, dont la recherche Web et la publicité en ligne (les deux points forts de Google, et les plus lucratifs).

Donc, d'un point de vue stratégique, Internet Explorer est un (gros) caillou dans la chaussure de Google : imaginez comme il doit être pénible de dépendre de votre pire ennemi pour interagir avec vos clients !
