Review of the Star Road of Sogou High-speed Browser in Five Years’ Hard Work

On December 22, 2008, Sogou high-speed browser was officially launched, which marked the birth of a dual-core browser that perfectly integrated the world’s fastest Webkit kernel and the most compatible IE kernel in China. After a lapse of five years, Sogou browser has become the number one browser brand in the dual-core browser market, and in the past five years, it has continuously made technological breakthroughs and innovations to provide users with a more perfect browsing experience, leading the development of the dual-core browser market and becoming the browser product with the best user experience and the fastest growth rate in the local market.

On December 22nd, 2013, Sogou High-speed Browser celebrated its 5th birthday. During these five years, Sogou High-speed Browser accompanied everyone to browse the wonderful Internet, catch up with their favorite dramas and kill the treasures in Taobao. In the past five years, users are growing, and Sogou browser is also constantly innovating. Today, let’s review the transformation of Sogou browser.

Relying on sogou’s technical advantages in search engines, the first version of Sogou browser was born in December 2008. With innovative functions such as "no card, no death", "whole network acceleration", "video extraction" and "intelligent dual-core", Sogou browser quickly became a cutting-edge force in the market and led the changes in the browser market. With its own technical advantages, it fought a blue ocean in the highly competitive browser red sea.

The whole network accelerates the educational network that we chased together in those years.

In the version 1.3 of Sogou browser launched in 2009, Sogou browser upgraded the characteristic function of "education network acceleration" to "whole network acceleration", and put forward a revolutionary solution to the problem of unbalanced bandwidth between China Internet, South Telecom and North Netcom, which can effectively improve the speed of mutual visits between China Telecom and Netcom by 20%-50%. At present, Sogou high-speed browser has become the only browser that can improve the speed of mutual visits between China Netcom, China Telecom and China Education Network. It has been specially optimized for the special network environment in the school and China, so that students on campus can get a maximum browsing speed of 2-4 times when visiting domestic websites, and both learning and entertainment can be carried out efficiently.

High-speed true dual-core perfect fake death prevention

In April 2010, Version 2.0 became the first true dual-core high-speed browser in China. On the basis of the original IE kernel, Webkit kernel was added. IE kernel is characterized by good compatibility, which can display almost all web pages normally, but the display speed is lacking. Webkit kernel is characterized by extremely fast display speed, but its compatibility is not as good as IE kernel. Sogou browser makes full use of its strengths and avoids its weaknesses, and combines the advantages of the two cores by intelligently selecting the kernel. Sogou high-speed browser version 2.0 has greatly accelerated and optimized the "fake death prevention" architecture. At the same time, since this version, Sogou browser has begun to support personalized skin function, which is more in line with the needs of netizens in China and brings the browser into the era of "speed is king and customization is king".

Personalized function and personal browser are born.

In July, 2011, Sogou browser added a toolbox, a skin box, and a personalized Internet speed-up function, which made the browser "different from person to person". The skin box not only included a variety of skins, but also thousands of themes covering cartoons, landscapes, aestheticism, cool stars, sports and other fields, and the skin and theme background were randomly matched, presenting a variety of effects. You can also make your own theme, so that the browser can truly become a more personalized personal tailor browser.

True dual-core creates nuclear safety and is compatible with high speed.

In August, 2012, two cores of Sogou browser version 4.0 were upgraded at the same time: the built-in IE8 kernel has better compatibility, faster and safer webpage loading. The high-speed kernel has also ushered in a big upgrade, the performance of the high-speed kernel has been further enhanced, the rendering ability and the compatibility of webpage standards have been greatly improved, and the speed of webpage opening has been increased by more than 30%! Moreover, the independent encapsulation of the IE8 kernel can enable users with lower versions of IE, such as IE6, to upgrade to IE8 directly, with 90% improvement in security, and enjoy faster, more compatible and safer Internet browsing brought by the dual-core browser. At the same time, Sogou browser in version 4.0 began to build a trusted website authentication module in China Net, which can effectively help users identify trusted websites and protect their own safety.

One-button flying cross-screen operation so easy

In October 2013, Sogou browser version 4.2 added a flying function, which can send web pages to mobile phones with one click, and there is no need to connect the web pages for multi-terminal synchronization. Compared with Bluetooth technology, the fly-by-fly function uses the push mechanism of smart phone, which has better compatibility, simpler operation and wider scope. You can use it immediately without turning on the Bluetooth switch every time you use it. A computer can also bind multiple mobile phones or tablets, and a mobile phone can also bind multiple computers; Moreover, the flying function is not limited by distance like Bluetooth technology. Whether in WiFi or mobile network, even if one is in the end of the world, the other is in the cape.

After 5 years, 60 months and 1825 days and nights, Sogou browser has brought users one surprise after another with one innovative version. In the Internet era, only by taking users as the benchmark and constantly innovating can we survive. The development of Sogou browser in the past five years has fully proved this point.
