Sources responded to rumors about Huawei's self-developed browser kernel: No

IT Home January 18 news, early this month, according to Weibo blogger @Changan Digital Jun, the senior manager of Huawei browser revealed: About two years later we can see a better Huawei browser come out. This news has been interpreted by the outside world as Huawei's self-developed browser kernel.

However, according to Sina Technology, according to sources close to Huawei, "Huawei did not develop its own browser kernel, but only made some algorithm innovations and corrections on the basis of the original browser, and will strengthen the security, credibility, and user privacy protection in the future." But for the final real situation, Huawei has not yet publicly responded.

IT home learned that the four cores of the current browser are: Trident kernel (also known as IE kernel), Webkit kernel, Gecko kernel, Presto kernel, are all American technology, domestic companies launched browsers are basically based on foreign kernel research, not completely complete kernel self-development.

For the rumors of Huawei's self-developed browser kernel, some people said that there is no need, because the difficulty of developing a browser kernel is not inferior to developing an operating system. Some insiders compared the Chrome browser kernel calculations pointed out that the amount of code to develop a mature browser kernel is between tens of millions and hundreds of millions, if you hire 1,000 skilled engineers to develop, it takes more than 5 years to develop, and the labor cost alone is as high as billions in the process. Although Huawei has such economic strength, for Huawei at present, the self-developed browser kernel is not the best choice.
