Huawei comes with a browser kernel.

A few days ago, Huawei went on hot search again.

The reason is that some media have sent such a message: Huawei wants to develop its own browser kernel and become a browser that truly belongs to China people.

Now the core of the browser is foreign, and we have no right to speak. We expect Huawei to break the monopoly!

If Huawei decides to start its own research from the bottom, it is really equivalent to filling an industry gap.

But to be honest, my first reaction after seeing this news is:

It's not necessary. As long as Huawei is not stupid, he won't do it.

Why do you say that? Let's talk about it later.

Sure enough, the news was quickly picked up by everyone.

It turned out that at a symposium, the "senior manager" of Huawei browser revealed that we can see a better Huawei browser coming out two years later.

This "better" can be better in many aspects, such as making the UI look better, supporting third-party extensions, adding more practical functions and so on.

But it doesn't necessarily correspond to Huawei's self-developed browser kernel, nor does it mean that Huawei plans to get its own browser kernel within two years.

Although the second paragraph of the original blog involves some "mainstream browser kernel" related content, the discerning person can find it at a glance:

Trident and Presto, two typesetting engines built in IE and Opera browsers respectively, have been dead for many years.

Firefox also upgraded its built-in typesetting engine from Gecko to Quantum as early as 20 17.

Safari's Webkit typesetting engine is misspelled as Webkiticon.

As for the Blink engine used by Chrome, the Google browser with the largest market share, there is no mention at all.

It stands to reason that although I am not in this forum, it would be like a sieve if the "senior manager" of Huawei browser could say this sentence himself.

I don't really believe it. (Guess is the "supplementary information" published by the blogger himself)

However, it is such a tweet that has gradually become:

I decided to do my own research. I am doing my own research. I will finish my research in two years, and I will publish it in two years.

Very classic. It belongs to it.

And just now, I also saw that Huawei's "sources" made rumors through several media today.

This is the end.

No I don't. Don't talk nonsense

So, this matter ends here.

But I'm sure there are still some friends who are thinking about what I said before:

Why doesn't Huawei need to develop its own browser? Do you want to see us strangled by foreign countries?

Well, before I say this, the bad reviewer wants to ask you, I wonder if you remember one thing that "celebrities" often mentioned in those years:

China can't produce ballpoint pens.

This matter has been told as a joke by everyone now, and it is estimated that many poor friends know it.

It probably means that our country used to rely entirely on imports of ballpoint pens, which amounted to more than one billion a year.

So some people take this to say that our technology is not good, and it is stuck.

But in fact, we can do it if we want, but the economic benefits are not worth it. One day's output is enough for one year, compared with the original trillion-dollar steel output.

This is a loss. Not worth it.

Similarly, the self-developed browser kernel is actually equivalent to the self-developed ballpoint pen tip: yes, but not necessary.

And it doesn't make money.

Think of it this way: Can Huawei really make its own browser kernel?

Just kidding, Huawei itself started as a network device. Today, there are 65,438+10,000 R&D personnel in specialized fields; D personnel span the software and hardware ecosystem.

HarmonyOS system can show you the whole process. If Huawei wants to develop its own browser kernel, it will deploy 2000 senior engineers and issue military orders.

Let alone two years. If you can't erase it in six months, I will lose.

But what's the point?

First of all, we should know that the essence of a browser is a tool for browsing the web.

And every web page we visit is essentially a bunch of hypertext tags composed of pure text.

In fact, the role of the browser is to use the built-in browser kernel 3354 "typesetting engine" and "JavaScript engine" to render text tags into beautiful web pages.

Just like an input method. You input English into the computer. "

Ping, but it can be interpreted as a "bad review" of your Chinese characters.

And what browsers do is similar to the input method: you must interpret the text labels of the original web pages according to the established standard (W3C).

You can't just play by yourself. You can explain whatever you want.

Otherwise, other people's browser users see normal web pages, but your browser typesetting is incorrect. Who will use you?

So even if thousands of Huawei engineers write a brand-new browser kernel from scratch, what they do is the same as what all browser kernels do now. . .

Exactly the same.

You must spend billions of dollars on research and development, maintenance and publicity.

Besides. . . The browser kernel itself does not have any security attributes.

Both Google's Blink/V8 engine and Firefox's Quantum/SpiderMonkey engine are completely open source.

Every line of source code is open, and a set of development and learning materials is also sent.

Therefore, it is better than Microsoft. As early as three years ago, it abandoned its self-developed browser kernel and changed to a Chromium open source project based on Google browser to build its own browser.

Not only does it save research and development funds, but users also like to use it.

In other words, the browser kernel is like a dictionary, which is essentially open and has no secrets.

This explanation is unique and habitual.

Building a browser kernel from scratch is like saying that someone else has written a dictionary for free.

I said no, I have to spend another 20 billion yuan to write another one with my own example.

No matter how thick our house is, it can't be so scattered!

Now you know why I said, "If Huawei is not stupid, it won't do it".

Indeed, in the last two years, we have found that there are still some shortcomings in the technology industry.

Such as EDA, mask aligner, instruction set architecture ecology and so on.

Therefore, in the past two years, a group of enterprises including Huawei have been working hard in these directions to make up for shortcomings.

But some places that we think are short boards are actually the same as ballpoint pens.

It's not that you don't do it, but that it's really unnecessary.

If you really spend billions on these things, it's true. . .

It hurts.
